Before you begin taking this medicine, you must consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, promptly notify your doctor. For optimal results, continue taking the tablet for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Headache
Joint pain
Nasal congestion
Hypoglycaemia

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

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

Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10 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.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10 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 Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10 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 Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10 may interact with the following diseases:

Type 1 diabetes mellitus: This medicine is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Diabetic ketoacidosis: Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis are also contraindicated from taking this medicine.
Pancreatitis: If you have a history of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or other pancreatic diseases, use caution when taking this medicine as it may exacerbate your condition.
Heart disease: If you have severe heart failure, you should be closely monitored while taking this medication due to potential risks.

Daily Dose

You should take the daily dose of Tegnem 20 MG Tablet 10 as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage can differ based on individual factors, such as how severe your condition is and how you respond to the medication. For further details regarding dosage, read the package insert that comes with the medicine.

Over Dose

If you happen to take more than the recommended dose, you might experience some common side effects such as nausea, constipation, or low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.
