Description
✅ Powerful DPP-4 Inhibitor for Effective Blood Sugar Management
Teneligliptin 20mg is an oral anti-diabetic medication used primarily in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It belongs to the class of DPP-4 inhibitors (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors). Teneligliptin works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which help to regulate blood glucose by increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon production in a glucose-dependent manner.
It is an ideal choice for patients who require effective glycemic control with a low risk of hypoglycemia. Teneligliptin is often used as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-diabetic medications like metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.
⚙️ Mechanism of Action
Teneligliptin selectively inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, thereby prolonging the activity of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). This leads to:
- Increased insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells
- Decreased glucagon secretion from α-cells
- Improved postprandial and fasting blood glucose levels

Recommended Dose:
- Teneligliptin 20mg is typically taken once daily with or without food.
