About T-20 M Tablet

T-20 M Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘antidiabetic agents’ used to treat Type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medication improves glycaemic control in diabetic patients who do not react well to Metformin alone.  Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic or life-long condition in which blood sugar or glucose levels rise more than normal. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin (metabolizes glucose), or if produced, it cannot function properly in the body.

T-20 M Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely: Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin comes into the category of medications known as 'biguanides', and it acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. On the other side, Teneligliptin works by stopping the action of the dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 enzyme, which in turn increases the insulin levels in the body and reduces the glucagon levels. All of these actions reduce sugar levels in the body.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. You may experience side-effects of such as nausea (feeling sick), vomiting (falling sick), diarrhoea, headache, stomach ache, respiratory infection, weight gain, sweating, palpitations, and vision problems. Some patients experience decline in blood sugar levels lower than normal (hypoglycemia), resulting in sweating, dizziness, headache, confusion, feeling hungry, temporary changes in vision, uneasiness, irritability, and weakness. In such cases, seek medical attention immediately.

Do not take T-20 M Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents. Do not use this medicine if you have heart failure, bladder cancer, or diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes). T-20 M Tablet may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (accumulation of lactic acid in the blood), which requires immediate medical attention. The risk increases if you are previously diagnosed with kidney or liver diseases. Do not consume alcohol (risk of lactic acidosis) or fast for prolonged periods (risk of hypoglycemia). Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Directions for Use

Medicinal Benefits

T-20 M Tablet is suggested for the management of type 2 diabetes to be followed with the right diet and exercise. T-20 M Tablet is given in combination in patients whose diabetes is not effectively controlled with Metformin alone.  This medicine makes the body more responsive to insulin and helps the body to a normal state.  Metformin tablets are especially advised to release the drug at a slow rate in the body from time to time.

How T-20 M Tablet Works

T-20 M Tablet is a combination of two medicines, namely: Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin comes into the category of medications known as 'biguanides', and it acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. On the other side, Teneligliptin works by stopping the action of the dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 enzyme, which in turn increases the insulin levels in the body and reduces the glucagon levels. All of these actions reduce sugar levels in the body.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

What if I have taken an overdose of T-20 M Tablet

Take T-20 M Tablet only as prescribed by the physician. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose, as doing so could lead to an overdose which might cause lactic acidosis. Symptoms of lactic acidosis may include nausea, vomiting, and weakness. If you experience these symptoms or suspect you have taken an overdose, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Warnings

T-20 M Tablet should be used with caution in patients with heart diseases as it increases the risk of heart failure. T-20 M Tablet may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (buildup of lactic acid in the blood), characterized by abdominal pain, muscle cramps, vomiting, severe fatigue, and difficulty breathing. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Inform your doctor if you have any severe liver or kidney problems as their normal functioning is required to eliminate excess lactic acid from the body.  Do not consume excess alcohol as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis.  T-20 M Tablet may lower vitamin B12 levels, so it is recommended to take blood tests regularly to identify any vitamin deficiencies.
