CompositionTenali M 500 Tablet ER is a combination antidiabetic medicine used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed when blood glucose levels cannot be adequately controlled by diet, exercise, and single-medicine therapy. Proper blood sugar management helps reduce the long-term risk of diabetic kidney disease, eye damage, nerve complications, and cardiovascular events.
It contains teneligliptin and metformin. Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while teneligliptin promotes insulin release in response to food. Take the tablet with meals as prescribed to minimise digestive upset. Do not crush, chew, or break extended-release tablets. Continue taking the medicine regularly as directed.
A structured lifestyle regimen—including a balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular physical exercise, weight management, and routine blood glucose checks—is essential alongside medicine.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver problems, or severe heart conditions. Seek urgent medical attention if you develop persistent nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain, or rapid breathing.
