Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually Tenelegliptin with metformin is given once a day. Whereas Glimiperide and metformin combinations are (either 1 mg, 2 mg with 500 mg metformin) are given once or twice a day. Tenelegliptin is given once only. I am not aware of twice a day dosage. Please check with your doctor and adjust the dose. Thanks.
