TENISUG-M 1000

MRP: 1,295

Packaging: 10X10

Pack Type: tablet

Composition:

Teneligliptin 20mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg (Prolonged Release)

Indication:

Stage 2 Hypertension, Hypertension associated with diabetes.

Description:

This bilayer tablet combines Teneligliptin (20mg), a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin Hydrochloride (1000mg) in Prolonged Release (PR) form for the effective management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Teneligliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, prolonging the action of incretin hormones like GLP-1 and GIP, which helps increase insulin secretion and reduce glucagon levels.
Metformin (PR) improves insulin sensitivity, reduces hepatic glucose production, and enhances peripheral glucose uptake, with a steady release over time, reducing gastrointestinal side effects.

This combination ensures dual glycemic control—improving both fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels—while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and maintaining weight neutrality.
