Terostil M Forte Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Teneligliptin (20 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that slows the inactivation of incretin hormones called GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones stimulate insulin secretion and suppress glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, enhancing the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar in response to meals and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.

• Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin reduces liver glucose production in the liver and decreases intestinal glucose absorption. It also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation, helping lower both basal and postprandial (after meal) plasma glucose levels.

• Keep this medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake and choose complex carbohydrates (whole grains, legumes) over simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose levels throughout the day.

• Include regular physical activity (aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days) to improve insulin sensitivity and help your body use glucose more effectively.
