Teniva-M Tablet

Teniva-M Tablet is a combination medication that helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels in the body. It is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. This medication is used to control diabetes; it is not a cure. Other components of treatment plan are important, patient must follow:

• Prescribed diet,
• Medication, and
• Exercise regimen.

This medication contains Metformin and Teneligliptin as the active ingredients. Teniva-M Tablet works by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It suppresses the quantity of glucose that the liver releases in the body. Thus, it lowers the blood sugar levels in the body of a patient suffering from Type 2 diabetes.

This medication is an oral drug that is used to control and balance blood sugar levels.It is used in the treatment of conditions such as type 2 diabetes. This medication also increases your sensitivity to insulin, enabling your body to absorb larger quantities of glucose.

If you do not manage the condition of diabetes, it can result in kidney failure, obesity and heart disorders. Therefore, Teniva-M Tablet helps keep your blood sugar levels low and your diabetes in check.

Teniva-M Tablet does not increase the amount of insulin in the body; instead, it decreases the production of sugar. The liver of patients, who suffer from type 2 diabetes, produces thrice the amount of glucose and their bodies do not have the capacity to absorb these large amounts of glucose.

This medication is effective in lowering the amount of glucose that the liver releases. It also decreases your appetite and increases your body’s sensitivity to insulin, thus, reducing the amount of glucose that is absorbed by your blood. Increased sensitivity to insulin also lowers your levels of cholesterol and helps you to lose weight.

This medication is a combination of Metformin and Teneligliptin, Thus produces its action via the dual mechanism. Firstly, it works by decreasing the production and absorption of glucose in the liver and intestine, respectively. It also improves the sensitivity of insulin by enhancing the uptake and utilization of glucose. It also works by inhibiting the release of glucagon, hence heightened the insulin release from the pancreas. It also lowers the hormones that are responsible for raising the blood sugar levels within the body. This lowers the sugar levels after a meal or fasting.

Whenever you take more than one medicine, or mix it with certain foods or beverages, you"re at risk of a drug interaction.

test

• Interaction with Alcohol

  Incidence of lactic acidosis may be increased; avoid or limit use

• Interaction with Others

  • Food: Food decreases the extent and slightly delays the absorption. Drug may cause GI upset; take with food to decrease GI upset.
  • Glucose: Decreases blood glucose concentration. Hypoglycemia does not usually occur unless a patient is predisposed. Monitor blood glucose concentration. Exercise caution with administration in patients predisposed to hypoglycemia (eg, cases of reduced caloric intake, strenuous exercise without repletion of calories, alcohol ingestion or when metformin is combined with another oral antidiabetic agent).
  • Vitamin B12: Decreases absorption of Vitamin B12; monitor for signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.
  • Folic acid: Decreases absorption of folic acid; monitor for signs and symptoms of folic acid deficiency.

• Interaction with Medicine

  • Decreased effect: Drugs which tend to produce hyperglycemia (eg, diuretics, corticosteroids, phenothiazines, thyroid products, estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenytoin, nicotinic acid, sympathomimetics, calcium channel blocking drugs, isoniazid) may lead to a loss of glycemic control.
  • Increased effect: Furosemide increased the metformin plasma and blood Cmax without altering metformin renal clearance in a single dose study.
  • Increased toxicity:
  • Cationic drugs (eg, amiloride, digoxin, morphine, procainamide, quinidine, quinine, ranitidine, triamterene, trimethoprim, and vancomycin) which are eliminated by renal tubular secretion could have the potential for interaction with metformin by competing for common renal tubular transport systems.
  • Cimetidine increases (by 60%) peak metformin plasma and whole blood concentrations.

• Interaction with Disease

  Patients suffering from pancreatitis, cardiac failure and vitamin B12 deficiency should exercise caution.
