Verified Ingredients and Effects

Composition:

TENELIGLIPTIN-20MG

Uses:

Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Medicinal Benefits:

Ib Gliptin 20mg Tablet 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. Ib Gliptin 20mg Tablet should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes and for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. Thus, Ib Gliptin 20mg Tablet 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.
