IT should be taken with meals to help reduce stomach or bowel side effects that may occur during the first few weeks of treatment.
Swallow the tablet or extended-release tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew it.
While taking the extended-release tablet, part of the tablet may pass into your stool after your body has absorbed the medicine. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

Mr Satyabrata, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The glucose levels mentioned are quite well controlled. However, regarding the change of drugs (adding Tenelegliptin instead of Sitagliptin) may be due to cost. There is no worry about the safety of Tenelegliptin at all. It is quite good. In fact it helps in improvement of liver functions. So no need to worry. Thanks.
