What is it used for?
Teneligliptin is used with diet and exercise to help control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may be used alone or along with other diabetes medicines.
How does it work?
It helps increase the release of insulin after meals and reduces the release of glucagon, helping lower blood sugar levels.
How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed by the doctor. It may be taken with or without food. Do not change the dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
Common side effects
Headache, nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhoea or constipation, and symptoms of a cold or sore throat may occur. Low blood sugar is more likely when used with insulin or certain other diabetes medicines.
Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney or liver problems, a history of pancreatitis, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Seek medical help for severe or persistent abdominal pain, serious skin rash or blisters, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing. Monitor blood sugar as advised, especially when taking it with other diabetes medicines.
