Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

TENELIGLIPTIN-20MG

Uses:

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Medicinal Benefits:

Tenex-20 Tablet 14's contains ‘Teneligliptin’ which belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors used to treat type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. It works by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme that destroys the hormone ‘Incretin’). The enzyme ‘Incretins’ helps produce more insulin only when required and reduces the liver's blood sugar level when not needed. Tenex-20 Tablet 14's should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes and for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. Thus, Tenex-20 Tablet 14's plays a vital role in controlling blood sugar levels and prevents serious complications of diabetes like eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic foot ulcer, and delayed wound healing.
