A few common side effects of Tagon 20 Tablet 15:

Digestive: feeling sick (nausea), loose motions (diarrhoea) and constipation.

Taking the medicine with or after a meal can also manage common side effects like nausea and diarrhoea.

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 contains teneligliptin (20 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

Teneligliptin acts by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which breaks down incretins. Incretins are hormones that stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas when glucose is present in your body.
Thus, it increases the levels of incretins in your body, which leads to a rise in insulin levels.
Along with increasing insulin levels, teneligliptin also decreases glucagon secretion.

Pregnancy

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 should be taken with caution and only when the expected benefit to the mother clearly outweighs any potential risk to the unborn baby. Inform your doctor before taking this tablet so that appropriate risk assessment and monitoring can be undertaken.

Breastfeeding

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 is not recommended during breastfeeding, as it may pass into human breast milk. The doctor should make a decision to either discontinue breastfeeding or avoid Tagon 20 Tablet 15, considering the importance of treatment for the mother.

Alcohol

Alcohol does not have a direct interaction with Tagon 20 Tablet 15. However, alcohol consumption may increase the risk of low blood sugar, dizziness, or impaired alertness, especially in people with diabetes. Limiting or avoiding alcohol intake is advisable during treatment.

Liver

Caution is advised when using Tagon 20 Tablet 15 in patients with liver impairment. Liver function abnormalities may affect how the medicine is processed in the body. Patients with existing liver conditions should inform their doctor before stating this tablet.

Kidney

Patients with kidney impairment should use Tagon 20 Tablet 15 with caution. Dose adjustments or closer clinical monitoring may be required based on the severity of kidney impairment.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 may cause dizziness or reduced alertness in some individuals. Patients should avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks requiring mental concentration until they know how this medicine affects them.

Allergy

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 should not be used in patients with a known allergy to teneligliptin or any of its components.

Children

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 is not recommended in chindren below 18 years of age.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Tagon 20 Tablet 15 may interact with the following medications:

Antifungal medications: Antifungals like ketoconazole and itraconazole may increase the level of teneligliptin in your body, causing unwanted side effects.
Antibiotics: Medicines like rifampicin, a known CYP3A4 inducer, may decrease the levels of teneligliptin in your body, reducing its effectiveness.
Other antidiabetic agents: Combining Tagon 20 Tablet 15 with other anti-diabetes medications like insulin can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).

Drug-Food Interactions

No specific drug-food interactions have been reported with Tagon 20 Tablet 15.
