USES OF TENLIGRESS M 20/1000MG TABLET

HOW TENLIGRESS M 20/1000MG TABLET WORKS

TENLIGRESS M 20/1000MG TABLET contains Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor which works by increasing the release of insulin from pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces both fasting and post-meal sugar levels. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.
