Teniva-M Forte Tablet 20's

Teniva-M Forte Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes. The detailed uses of Teniva-M Forte Tablet are as follows:

• Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Teniva-M Forte Tablet improves glycemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
• Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Teniva-M Forte Tablet helps the body respond better to insulin.
• Reduces Glucose Production: Teniva-M Forte Tablet suppresses the excess sugar made by the liver.
• Adjunct to lifestyle and therapy: Teniva-M Forte Tablet is prescribed alongside a healthy diet, regular physical activity to manage type 2 diabetes more effectively.

• Teniva-M Forte 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.
• Teniva-M Forte 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.

• Teniva-M Forte Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset.
• It is recommended to take Teniva-M Forte Tablet once daily or as advised by your doctor.
• Swallow Teniva-M Forte Tablet as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, chew, or break it.

• Eat at regular intervals. Do not take a long gap between a meal or snack.
• Monitor your blood sugar level regularly, especially when there are a lot of fluctuations.
• Invest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 15 minutes of high-intensity exercise every week.
• Lose weight gradually to achieve a healthy body mass index (18.5 to 24.9).
• 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.
• Do not take stress as it may elevate your blood sugar level. You may adopt stress management techniques like mindfulness, yoga, or meditation to control stress-related blood sugar changes.
• Opt for low-fat dairy products (low-fat yoghurt, fat-free milk, and cheese, etc.).
• Keep your blood pressure as normal (120/80) as possible, as it reduces the risk of heart disease in diabetes patients.

• Do not take Teniva-M Forte Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components, or if you have severe ketosis, type 1 diabetes, diabetic coma, or a history of diabetic coma.
• Inform your doctor if you have liver, kidney or heart problems, severe infection, severe trauma, adrenal insufficiency, bowel obstruction, irregular heartbeat, or are due to undergo surgery.
• Teniva-M Forte Tablet may cause ‘lactic acidosis’ (buildup of lactic acid in the blood). Consult your doctor if you experience abdominal pain, muscle cramps, vomiting, severe fatigue, or difficulty breathing. It is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention.
• Do not consume excess alcohol, as it increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
• Teniva-M Forte Tablet may lower vitamin B12 levels, so it is recommended to take blood tests regularly to identify any vitamin deficiencies.
