CompositionTenepride M 1000 Tablet Pr 15 is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It typically combines teneligliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) and metformin (biguanide). It assists in improving blood sugar control by decreasing glucose absorption from the gut and increasing the body's response to insulin, preventing future complications like kidney damage and heart disease.
Tenepride M 1000 Tablet Pr 15 is used for improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, particularly when levels remain high despite using metformin alone. It works by enhancing insulin sensitivity in various tissues, reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and increasing glucose uptake and utilization.
Consume the tablet orally with your evening meal.
It's vital to swallow the tablet without crushing, chewing or dividing it.
Do not exceed the recommended dose unless guided by your doctor.
Avoid stopping this medicine abruptly; consult your doctor before discontinuing.

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and are resolved by discontinuing the use of Tenepride M 1000 Tablet Pr 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Tenepride M 1000 Tablet Pr 15 contains two main active ingredients:
Teneligliptin (20 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It operates by decreasing the speed at which incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are made inactive. As these hormones remain active for a longer time, they stimulate the pancreas to secrete more insulin when glucose levels are high and reduce glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient falls under the category of biguanides. It works by reducing the production of glucose in your liver (a process known as gluconeogenesis) and enhancing insulin sensitivity in various tissues, such as the liver, muscle, and adipose tissues. By doing so, metformin increases glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues and reduces intestinal glucose absorption.
