Antidiabetic (DPP-4 Inhibitor)Prescription

Teneligliptin

Generic: Teneligliptin (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydrate)

Adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, either as monotherapy or in dual/triple combination therapy with metformin, sulfonylureas, glitazones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, or insulin; especially preferred in diabetic patients with comorbid mild, moderate, or severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) or diabetic nephropathy.

⚙️ Work Mechanism:

Teneligliptin works as an incretin enhancer. When you eat, your digestive tract produces natural gut hormones (GLP-1) that signal your pancreas to release insulin and stop releasing extra sugar into your blood. Normally, a bodily enzyme called DPP-4 quickly destroys these helpful hormones. Teneligliptin blocks DPP-4, allowing your natural gut hormones to stay active longer, naturally stabilizing your blood sugar levels after meals and throughout the day without causing weight gain or low blood sugar.
