About Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet
Tenevid-M 500 mg 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.
Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet contains Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin acts by decreasing liver glucose production and intestinal glucose uptake. On the other hand, Teneligliptin increases the insulin levels in the body and reduces the glucagon levels. Together, Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet helps treat type 2 diabetes.
Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, stomach ache, respiratory infection, weight gain, and sweating. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and will likely resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines or have pre-existing medical conditions to prevent any potential interactions.

Medicinal Benefits
- Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet is indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It contains Metformin and Teneligliptin.
- Metformin is a biguanide, which works by reducing the production of glucose in the liver and decreasing its absorption from the intestines, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
- Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon levels in the blood, especially after meals.
- It is used when patients are unable to achieve sufficient glycemic control through lifestyle modifications such as diet and physical activity alone.
- Tenevid-M 500 mg Tablet is suitable for patients who have not responded adequately to treatment with sulfonylureas (e.g., glimepiride, gliclazide) in combination with dietary control and exercise.
- It may also be prescribed when treatment with thiazolidinediones (e.g., pioglitazone) along with diet and exercise has failed to achieve satisfactory blood glucose control.

- Invest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 15 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week.

- Replace refined carbohydrate-containing foods with whole grain foods and increase fruits, veggies, and other fibre-enriched foods.
- Reduce saturated fat intake (or hidden fats) in food like chips, crisps, pastries, biscuits, and samosas. Choose omega-3 fatty acid-containing oils for daily cooking. You may use palm oil, mustard oil, groundnut oil, rice bran oil, and safflower oil for frying.
