Teneligliptin 20mg, Dapagliflozin 10mg and Metformin Hydrochloride (Sustained Release) 500mg Tablets Uses
This triple combination medicine is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, and single or dual therapy do not provide adequate glycemic control. It helps lower blood sugar levels effectively.
How Teneligliptin + Dapagliflozin + Metformin works
This combination contains three active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose:
- Teneligliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases the levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release and reduce glucagon secretion after meals.
- Dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) blocks glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing excess sugar to be excreted in urine.
- Metformin (a biguanide) decreases glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces sugar absorption in the intestines.
Together, they provide comprehensive blood sugar control through different mechanisms.
Common side effects of Teneligliptin + Dapagliflozin + Metformin
Like all medicines, this combination may cause some side effects, though not everyone gets them. Common side effects include:
- Urinary tract infections or genital yeast infections (due to dapagliflozin)
- Nausea, diarrhea, or stomach upset (especially when starting metformin)
- Nasopharyngitis (common cold symptoms) or headache (from teneligliptin)
- Dehydration or dizziness (due to increased urination from dapagliflozin)
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used with other diabetes medicines
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.
Expert advice for Teneligliptin + Dapagliflozin + Metformin
