Tenelia

Tenelia (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydreate) is used to help control blood sugar levels in patients affected by type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes). This drug works by inhibiting the activity of a certain enzyme known as DPP-4. This enzyme is responsible for degrading incretins such as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1), which are needed by the body to control blood sugar. Blocking the action of DPP4 leads to an increase in GLP-1 levels. GLP-1 helps to increase the release of insulin, which in turn leads to lower blood glucose levels, thereby making this medicine effective at controlling type 2 diabetes.

A specific dosage regimen designed to meet each patient`s individual needs will be required for those using Tenelia (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydreate) to treat diabetes. Your physician will tell you the correct dosage, and you will need to follow all instructions provided to you. The most common dosage regimen prescribed by physicians to adults usually consists of 20mg taken once each day. If optimum results are not achieved, the patient may be instructed by their physician to take 40mg each day. Never exceed the dosage that your physician tells you to take.

Patients undergoing treatment with Tenelia (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydreate) may experience side effects, such as:

• Nausea
• Eczema
• Constipation
• Pain in the abdomen
• Accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract

Report any side effects that occur to your physician. Serious side effects are less common. See your physician immediately if you notice persistent abdominal pain, feeling as if the abdomen has become enlarged, serious constipation or any other serious symptoms.

It is possible that hypoglycemia may occur. Ask your physician about the proper procedure in case this happens.

You will most likely be directed by your physician to engage in regular physical activity, and to follow a special diet.
