Uses

TGLIP 20MG Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication primarily used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to help control elevated blood sugar levels when lifestyle changes alone or other medicines are insufficient. It works by increasing the activity of hormones that regulate blood sugar levels, stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, and reducing glucose production by the liver. This medicine helps to control fasting and post-meal glucose levels and can help prevent long-term complications of diabetes such as kidney, nerve, and eye damage.

Dosage and Administration

The typical adult dosage is 20 mg of Teneligliptin administered orally once daily. If efficacy is insufficient, the dose may be increased up to 40 mg once daily, under close medical supervision. It can be taken with or without food. It is important to take the medicine regularly at the same time each day to maximize its benefits and to not stop taking it without consulting a doctor.

If the efficacy is insufficient, your doctor may increase the dose up to 40 mg once daily, while closely monitoring your clinical condition. It can be taken with or without food, but it's often recommended to take it at the same time each day.

What are the possible side effects of TGLIP 20MG?

Common side effects include headache, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), constipation, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infection, and nasopharyngitis (common cold symptoms). Some serious side effects, though rare, can include inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) and heart failure. It is important to recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia and know how to manage them, often by consuming sugary foods. If side effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor.
