It is vital to keep it in control to avoid unnecessary consequences. Several medications are available in the Indian market to keep Type II Diabetes in control. 

Of all drugs, Teneligliptin is illustrious for providing intended results and keeping Type 2 Diabetes in check. This blog will walk you through Teneligliptin tablet uses, side effects, and precautions for consuming them.

What is Teneligliptin? What are its uses?

Teneligliptin is a highly potent diabetic drug belonging to the anti-diabetic medicines class of Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV (DPP IV) Inhibitors. 

Teneligliptin is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes in patients whose blood sugar levels are extremely high and can't be controlled with exercise and diet. Your doctor/physician might prescribe that you consume Teneligliptin with other medicines to control sugar levels. 

Teneligliptin stops the impact of DPP-IV, an enzyme severely affecting the Incretin hormone. Incretins increase Insulin release only when needed and decrease the liver's sugar levels and hormones that raise blood glucose levels.
