Glipon Mf Forte Tablet 10 contains two main active ingredients:

• Teneligliptin (20 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It operates by decreasing the speed at which incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are made inactive. As these hormones remain active for a longer time, they stimulate the pancreas to secrete more insulin when glucose levels are high and reduce glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.

• Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient falls under the category of biguanides. It works by reducing the production of glucose in your liver (a process known as gluconeogenesis) and enhancing insulin sensitivity in various tissues, such as the liver, muscle, and adipose tissues. By doing so, metformin increases glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues and reduces intestinal glucose absorption.

• Store your Glipon Mf Forte Tablet 10 at room temperature, between 15 to 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a dry, dark place, away from direct light and moisture.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in fibre and low in simple sugars to effectively manage your blood glucose levels when taking Glipon Mf Forte Tablet 10.

• Regular physical activity, such as walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes daily, can enhance the effectiveness of this medication by improving insulin sensitivity.
