Teneblu M Strip Of 15 Tablets
Description
Teneblu M tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medicine combines two active ingredients, Teneligliptin and Metformin, which work together to control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. Teneligliptin belongs to a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors, which increase the levels of certain hormones that stimulate insulin release and reduce glucose production by the liver. Metformin, a biguanide, works by decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed from the intestines and produced by the liver, while also enhancing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
It's crucial to take Teneblu M tablet exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. The medication should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not crushed or chewed. It is recommended to take the medicine at the same time each day. You should not exceed the prescribed dose or miss any doses. Before starting treatment, it is essential to inform the doctor about any existing medical conditions, particularly those affecting the liver, heart, or kidneys, and to disclose all other medications, including herbal supplements, to prevent potential interactions.
Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, and a loss of appetite. Other side effects are headache, fatigue, sore throat, and skin rashes. A significant risk associated with Metformin is lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition characterised by symptoms like stomach discomfort, muscle pain, and rapid breathing, which requires immediate medical attention. You should also be aware of the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially if the medication is taken with other anti-diabetic medicines.
Teneblu M Tablet is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, those with a known allergy to Teneligliptin or Metformin, and individuals in a state of diabetic coma. It should also be avoided by patients with severe infections or those who have recently undergone major surgery, as these conditions can increase the risk of complications. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine, as it may harm the fetus or newborn.
