About Ten20-M 500mg Tablet

Ten20-M 500mg Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type-2 diabetes mellitus is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes. It is a medical condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal due to insulin deficiency, insulin resistance, or both.

Ten20-M 500mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Teneligliptin and Metformin hydrochloride. 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. Metformin hydrochloride acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. Together, Ten20-M 500mg Tablet helps control blood sugar levels.

Take Ten20-M 500mg Tablet as prescribed. You are advised to take Ten20-M 500mg Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not take Ten20-M 500mg 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).
