TENELIGOLD M 500

Metformin SR (500mg), Teneligliptin (20mg)

TENELIGOLD M 500 is a combination medication designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines Metformin SR (500mg) and Teneligliptin (20mg) to help control blood sugar levels more effectively than monotherapy. This medication is typically prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy do not provide adequate glycemic control.

Composition and Mechanism of Action

Metformin SR (500mg)

Mechanism: Metformin works by decreasing hepatic glucose production, decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose, and improving insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
Benefits: Helps reduce blood glucose levels without causing weight gain and has a low risk of hypoglycemia.
Teneligliptin (20mg)

Mechanism: Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones increase insulin release and decrease glucagon levels in the circulation in a glucose-dependent manner.
Benefits: Helps in the management of postprandial and fasting blood sugar levels with a low risk of hypoglycemia.
Uses

TENELIGOLD M 500 is primarily used to:

Help patients achieve target blood glucose levels when diet, exercise, and other medications have not been sufficient.
Dosage and Administration

Standard Dose: Typically, one tablet per day, taken with a meal to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
Adjustment: Dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's response, medical condition, and other medications being taken.
Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew the tablet as it is an extended-release formulation.
Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

Metformin SR: Gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and a metallic taste.
Teneligliptin: Upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis, headache, and hypoglycemia (when used with other antidiabetic agents).
Rare but serious side effects:

Lactic Acidosis: A rare but potentially fatal side effect associated with Metformin, characterized by symptoms like muscle pain, respiratory distress, stomach pain, and dizziness.
Pancreatitis: Rare cases of pancreatitis have been reported with Teneligliptin.
Precautions

Renal Function: Regular monitoring of kidney function is essential due to the risk of lactic acidosis with Metformin.
Liver Function: Patients with liver disease should use this medication with caution.
Heart Disease: Caution is advised in patients with heart failure.
Interactions

Medications: Care should be taken when using with other medications that may affect blood glucose levels, such as corticosteroids, diuretics, and beta-blockers.
Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake due to the increased risk of lactic acidosis with Metformin.
