About the Product:
Tenefit-M Tablet SR is a combination medication used to manage high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By helping to control blood sugar, it reduces the risk of serious complications related to diabetes, such as kidney damage, blindness, and cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes. Tenefit-M Tablet SR works best when used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. Your doctor may prescribe it alone or in combination with other diabetes medications, depending on your blood sugar levels and overall condition.
This medication is formulated to be taken regularly to effectively control blood glucose levels. It is important to continue taking the medicine even if you feel well, as stopping without a doctor’s recommendation could worsen your diabetes and increase the risk of complications.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
Each Tenefit-M Tablet SR contains the following active ingredients:
- Metformin (500mg): An oral medication that helps lower blood sugar by improving the body’s response to insulin.
- Teneligliptin (20mg): An antidiabetic drug that increases insulin secretion and reduces blood glucose-raising hormones.
How to Use:
- Take Tenefit-M Tablet SR exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.
- Take the tablet with food to help prevent stomach upset.
- Try to take it at the same time each day for consistent results.
- Do not stop taking the medication unless your doctor advises you to do so.
Restrictions:
- Kidney, Liver, or Heart Disease: Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney, liver, or heart problems.
- Pancreatic Issues: Let your doctor know if you have had any issues with your pancreas, as this medication may not be suitable.
- Alcohol Use: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Tenefit-M Tablet SR.
- Other Medications: Certain medicines may interact with Tenefit-M Tablet SR. Always inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
Side Effects:
While many people tolerate Tenefit-M Tablet SR well, some may experience side effects. The most common side effects include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Headache
- Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level)
- Diarrhea
In case of hypoglycemia, it is important to recognize symptoms like dizziness, sweating, lightheadedness, or fainting. You may need to carry glucose or sugary candy to quickly raise your blood sugar in such cases. If side effects persist or cause concern, contact your doctor.
How It Works:
Tenefit-M Tablet SR is a combination of two antidiabetic medications:
- Metformin: It works by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improving the body’s response to insulin, thus helping to lower blood sugar levels.
- Teneligliptin: It helps by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and inhibiting the hormones that raise blood sugar levels, further aiding in blood glucose control.
Together, these medications help lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels, making it easier to manage type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of related complications.
