About Teneza-M 500 Tablet ER
Teneza-M 500 Tablet ER is a combination medication used to manage high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This helps prevent serious complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, and reduces the chances of having a heart attack or stroke. It is an effective treatment option when blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.
Teneza-M 500 Tablet ER works best when taken alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity. The dosage and frequency will be tailored to your individual needs based on your blood sugar levels and any other medications you may be taking.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients
Each Teneza-M 500 Tablet ER contains:
- Metformin – 500mg
(A biguanide that helps to decrease the amount of glucose produced by the liver and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.) - Teneligliptin – 20mg
(A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin secretion in response to meals and helps lower blood glucose levels.)
How to Use Teneza-M Tablet ER
- Dosage: Take the medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your condition and blood sugar levels.

How Teneza-M Tablet ER Works
Teneza-M 500 Tablet ER is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines, Metformin and Teneligliptin, which work in different ways to lower blood glucose levels:
- Metformin works by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improving your body’s sensitivity to insulin.
- Teneligliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, which enhances the secretion of insulin from the pancreas in response to meals, helping to lower blood glucose levels.
Together, these two ingredients effectively control high blood sugar levels and help prevent the long-term complications of diabetes.
