TENELIGOLD M 500 is a combination medication that includes Metformin SR (500mg) and Teneligliptin (20mg). This combination is commonly prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus, helping to control blood sugar levels and improve overall glycemic control.

How Does It Work?

Metformin SR

• Mechanism: Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
• Sustained Release (SR): The SR formulation ensures a gradual release of Metformin, providing a prolonged effect and better blood sugar control.

Teneligliptin

• Mechanism: Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones stimulate insulin release and inhibit glucagon release, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

Uses of TENELIGOLD M 500

• Type 2 Diabetes Management: Helps in maintaining optimal blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• Combination Therapy: Often used when single-drug therapy is insufficient to control blood sugar levels.
