Composition

Metformin (1000 Mg) + Teneligliptin (20 Mg)

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It's a combination medicine that belongs to the oral antidiabetic medication group.

This tablet improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose output in adults with type 2 diabetes. This medicine is prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not control blood sugar levels adequately.

Before you start taking this tablet, consult your doctor about the correct dosage and frequency for your specific condition. You must inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while taking this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Do not discontinue your medications without consulting your doctor.

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 is used for the following:

Improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Managing high blood sugar levels that are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, and anti-diabetic medication alone.

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.
Make sure to take this medicine at the same time every day to maintain consistent blood levels of the medication.
Taking this medicine with your evening meal is advisable to minimise gastrointestinal discomfort.
Never exceed the recommended dosage without consulting your doctor.
Do not stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 is taken orally.

Consuming Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 may lead to the following side effects:

Diarrhoea
Nausea
Vomiting
Abdominal discomfort: This refers to uneasiness or pain in your stomach area.
Flatulence: This refers to excessive gas in the digestive system, which passes through the rectum.
Loss of appetite
Lactic acidosis: A rare but serious condition where there's a build-up of lactic acid in your body, leading to weakness, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, etc.
Vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use: It can lead to fatigue, weakness, and problems with memory.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve by discontinuing the use of the Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10. 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: Consuming Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 with food might help manage this side effect. If it persists, kindly reach out to your doctor.
Abdominal discomfort: Taking the medicine with meals could minimise this side effect.

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 comprises two active ingredients:

Teneligliptin (20 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It slows down the breakdown of hormones like GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (gastric inhibitory polypeptide). Doing so enhances insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release by the pancreas, which helps regulate blood sugar levels.
Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient reduces glucose production by the liver, lessens the intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.

Pregnancy

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 should be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor recommends it. If you are pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's recommended to consult with your doctor before taking Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10.

Alcohol

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10, as it could potentially increase the risk of lactic acidosis, which is a serious side effect.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised when using Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10. Your doctor will evaluate your liver health and guide you accordingly before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 is not recommended for people with severe kidney impairment. If you have any kidney health issues, it's advisable to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

No specific precautions are needed for driving or operating machinery while taking the Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10. However, if you experience side effects like dizziness or fatigue, avoid such activities until you feel better.

Allergy

Do not take the Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 if you're allergic to metformin, teneligliptin, or any other ingredients in the tablet. If you've ever had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, inform your doctor.

Children

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 should not be given to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients may be more susceptible to the side effects of Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 and should, therefore, take it under medical supervision. If you are over 70 years old and have liver or kidney issues or are on other medication, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10 interacts with the following medicines:

Cationic medicines: Medications like digoxin, ranitidine, and amiloride may slow down the elimination of metformin, which is an ingredient in Tenelife M Forte 20/1000mg Tablet Sr 10, possibly increasing the risk of lactic acidosis.
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors: Medicines such as topiramate and acetazolamide can increase the risk of lactic acidosis when taken alongside metformin.

Drug-Food Interactions
