TENZURES ™-M

Teneligliptin & Metformin Hydrochloride (Extended Release Tablets I.P. 

PACKING SIZE / TYPE

10X10 Tablets

Summary

TENZURES™-M is a combination of Teneligliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and Metformin Hydrochloride (Extended Release), a biguanide class oral antidiabetic drug. This formulation is designed to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. The synergistic effect of Teneligliptin and Metformin helps achieve better glycemic control, reduces fasting and postprandial glucose levels, and improves overall metabolic profile.

Side Effects

  • Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, dizziness.

  • Less common: Hypoglycemia (rare when used alone), constipation, fatigue.

  • Rare but serious: Lactic acidosis (with metformin), pancreatitis (with DPP-4 inhibitors), hypersensitivity reactions.

Usage

  • Administered orally once or twice daily, depending on dosage strength.

  • To be taken with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

  • Swallow tablet whole; do not crush or chew extended-release tablets.

Concerns

  • Risk of lactic acidosis (serious but rare, requires immediate medical attention).

  • Use with caution in patients with renal, hepatic, or cardiac impairment.

  • Long-term use may cause Vitamin B12 deficiency (from metformin).

  • Not a substitute for diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.

When not to use?

  • Known hypersensitivity to Teneligliptin, Metformin, or any excipients.

  • Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR <30 ml/min/1.73m²).

  • Metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis.

  • Severe liver disease or history of pancreatitis.

  • Excessive alcohol intake or conditions predisposing to hypoxia (e.g., heart failure, respiratory failure).

Warnings

  • Lactic Acidosis Risk: Stop immediately if unexplained acidosis symptoms (muscle pain, drowsiness, rapid breathing) appear.

  • Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment or discontinuation required.

  • Elderly Patients: Use with caution due to reduced renal clearance.

  • Pregnancy & Lactation: Use only if benefits outweigh risks.

  • Alcohol: Avoid excessive consumption to reduce risk of lactic acidosis.
