About
TENLIFAST TAB contains Teneligliptin, an oral antidiabetic agent belonging to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. It works by selectively inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which is responsible for the degradation of incretin hormones such as GLP-1 and GIP. By preserving these hormones, Teneligliptin enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and suppresses glucagon secretion from alpha cells, leading to improved postprandial and fasting blood glucose levels.
Teneligliptin is effective in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. It offers the advantage of a low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone and is generally well-tolerated, providing a convenient once-daily dosing regimen for patients seeking effective glycemic control.
