Composition

Metformin (1000 Mg) + Teneligliptin (20 Mg)

Tendia M Forte Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps improve blood sugar control when diet and exercise alone are not enough.

It contains teneligliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and metformin, a biguanide. Together, these medicines increase insulin release when blood sugar levels are high, reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and help lower blood sugar levels.

Take this medicine regularly as prescribed, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, to get the best results. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as diabetes often has no obvious symptoms.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, or are taking other medicines. Your doctor may check your blood sugar and kidney function periodically while you are on this medicine.

Tendia M Forte Tablet is used for the long-term management of blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Uses of Tendia M Forte Tablet are:

Blood Sugar Control: Helps manage type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

Here's how you should take Tendia M Forte Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water during your meal.
Do not break, chew or crush the tablet.
Follow your doctor's advice on how often you need to take your medicine.
Never exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your doctor first.
If you feel like stopping this medicine, consult your doctor before doing so.

Tendia M Forte Tablet is taken orally.

Tendia M Forte Tablet may cause some side effects that are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine.

A few Common Side Effects of Tendia M Forte Tablet:

Digestive: Loose motions (diarrhoea), nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, flatulence, indigestion, and loss of appetite may occur. Taking the tablet with food can help reduce stomach upset.

If side effects do not improve or become serious, speak to your doctor right away.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Tendia M Forte Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Try taking this medicine with food to lessen this effect.
Nausea: If you feel nauseous after taking this tablet, consider taking it after meals.

Tendia M Forte Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

Metformin hydrochloride (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin primarily works by decreasing hepatic glucose production. It also enhances insulin sensitivity, leading to increased peripheral glucose uptake, boosts fatty acid oxidation, and reduces absorption of glucose from the gastrointestinal tract.
Teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate (20 mg): Classified as a DPP-4 inhibitor, teneligliptin works by slowing down the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. This leads to increased concentrations of these hormones in the bloodstream. As a result, insulin is released from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner while glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells decreases, effectively reducing blood glucose levels.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Tendia M Forte Tablet if you are pregnant. The medicine should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Metformin, one of the ingredients in Tendia M Forte Tablet, is secreted into human breast milk which could potentially lead to hypoglycemia in nursing infants. If you are breastfeeding, it's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

Excessive alcohol intake may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious metabolic complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation. If you drink alcohol, please discuss this with your doctor before starting Tendia M Forte Tablet.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised while taking Tendia M Forte Tablet. This is especially important if you have hepatic impairment or congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic treatment. Consult your doctor before starting this medicine if you have any liver-related concerns.

Kidney

Tendia M Forte Tablet should not be used if you have severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. If you have a history of kidney problems, do consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Use In Driving And Operating Machinery

There is no specific impact of Tendia M Forte Tablet on your ability to drive or operate machines. However, as with any medication, you should be aware of how it affects you and avoid driving or operating machinery if it impairs your ability.

Allergy

If you have known hypersensitivity to metformin or teneligliptin, the active ingredients in Tendia M Forte Tablet, it's best not to take this medicine. Ensure your doctor knows about any allergies you have.

Children

Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

In elderly patients, particularly those 65 years and above, caution is advised while taking Tendia M Forte Tablet. Metformin should not be initiated in geriatric patients 80 years and older unless renal function is normal. Conservative dosing and careful monitoring are recommended.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Tendia M Forte Tablet interacts with the following medicines:

Thiazides: Medicines such as hydrochlorothiazide and chlorthalidone may lead to a loss of glycemic control when taken with Tendia M Forte Tablet.
Corticosteroids: Medications like prednisone and dexamethasone can cause an increase in blood sugar levels, reducing the effectiveness of this medicine.

Drug-Food Interactions

Certain foods may interact with Tendia M Forte Tablet. However, there's no specific food known to significantly alter the effects of this medication.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Tendia M Forte Tablet interacts with the following diseases:

Liver Disease: Individuals with liver disease should be cautious when taking this medication, as it could potentially worsen their condition.
Congestive Heart Failure: For those suffering from heart failure requiring pharmacologic treatment, caution is advised when using Tendia M Forte Tablet due to potential risks.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Tendia M Forte Tablet should be taken as directed by your doctor. The prescribed dosage may vary based on individual factors, such as the severity of the condition and response to the medicine. Always adhere to your doctor's instructions and avoid exceeding the prescribed dosage without a doctor’s consent.

Over Dose

In case you take more than the prescribed dose of Tendia M Forte Tablet, you might experience symptoms like nausea, diarrhoea or stomach pain. If you notice these or any other unusual symptoms, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to take your regular dose of Tendia M Forte Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never adjust your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Tendia M Forte Tablet at a temperature between 10°C and 25°C.
Keep it in a dry and dark place to protect from light and moisture.
Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.
Ensure you use it before the expiry date printed on the pack.

Since Tendia M Forte Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes, maintaining a balanced diet low in simple sugars is crucial. This helps control your blood sugar levels.
Regular exercise such as walking, swimming, or cycling can help improve your body's insulin sensitivity and help manage your condition better.
