Understanding the potential side effects of TEGLIPTIN M 20/500MG TABLET is crucial for effective diabetes management. While generally well-tolerated, this medication, which combines Teneligliptin and Metformin, can lead to various effects. **Common Side Effects (often mild and may subside):** * **Gastrointestinal Issues:** Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, loss of appetite. These are very common, especially when starting Metformin, and can often be reduced by taking the tablet with food. * **Metallic Taste:** Some individuals may experience a metallic taste in their mouth. * **Headache:** Mild headaches are occasionally reported. * **Cold-like Symptoms:** Nasopharyngitis (sore throat, runny nose, sneezing) can occur. **Less Common / Uncommon Side Effects:** * **Joint Pain (Arthralgia):** Some patients may experience discomfort or pain in their joints. * **Skin Reactions:** Rash, itching, or hives. * **Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia):** While TEGLIPTIN M itself has a low risk of hypoglycemia, it can occur, especially if taken with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. Symptoms include sweating, shakiness, dizziness, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and hunger. **Serious / Rare Side Effects (Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these):** * **Lactic Acidosis:** A very rare but severe build-up of lactic acid, primarily associated with Metformin. Symptoms include extreme tiredness, severe nausea/vomiting, intense stomach pain, rapid breathing, feeling cold, dizziness, and a slow or irregular heartbeat. * **Pancreatitis:** Inflammation of the pancreas (rare). Symptoms include severe, persistent stomach pain that may radiate to the back, with or without vomiting. * **Severe Allergic Reactions (Angioedema):** Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, leading to difficulty breathing or swallowing. * **Vitamin B12 Deficiency:** Long-term use of Metformin can lead to reduced Vitamin B12 levels, potentially causing anemia (tiredness, weakness, pale skin) or nerve problems (numbness, tingling). Always discuss any concerns or side effects with your doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop taking your medication without professional medical advice.

Allergies
UnsafeDo not take Tegliptin M if you are allergic to Teneligliptin, Metformin, or any other ingredients in the tablet.
Tegliptin M 20/500mg Tablet is primarily used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It helps to lower high blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
This tablet is a combination of two medicines: Tegliptin and Metformin. Tegliptin works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and reducing the hormones that raise blood sugar. Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they effectively lower blood glucose.
The main ingredients are Tegliptin (20mg) and Metformin Hydrochloride (500mg).
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, metallic taste in the mouth, and headache. These usually subside as your body adjusts to the medicine. Serious side effects like lactic acidosis (rare) and pancreatitis (rare) are possible, requiring immediate medical attention.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Yes, Tegliptin M can be prescribed with other anti-diabetic medications, but only under strict medical supervision. Combining it with certain other drugs, especially insulin or sulfonylureas, may increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Always inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking.
Tegliptin M should be used with caution in patients with kidney problems, especially Metformin, which is excreted by the kidneys. Your doctor will assess your kidney function before prescribing and may adjust the dosage or recommend an alternative based on your condition.
Metformin, one of the components, is often associated with modest weight loss or stabilization rather than weight gain. Tegliptin is generally considered weight-neutral. However, individual responses can vary.
Store the tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct heat/light. Keep them out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze.
In case of an overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include severe gastrointestinal issues, lactic acidosis, or hypoglycemia.
While taking Tegliptin M, it is crucial to follow a balanced diet suitable for diabetes management, as advised by your doctor or a dietitian. Limit alcohol intake, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis with Metformin.
Tegliptin M is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient data on its safety. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
Tegliptin M starts working relatively quickly to lower blood sugar levels. However, the full therapeutic effect and optimal blood sugar control may take a few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication and the dosage is optimized.
Both Tegliptin M (Tegliptin + Metformin) and other combinations like Sitagliptin + Metformin are used to treat Type 2 Diabetes by different DPP-4 inhibitors combined with Metformin. The primary difference lies in the specific DPP-4 inhibitor (Tegliptin vs. Sitagliptin, Vildagliptin, Saxagliptin, etc.). While they have a similar mechanism of action within the DPP-4 class, their chemical structures, pharmacokinetics, and some side effect profiles might vary slightly. Your doctor will choose the most appropriate one for you based on your individual needs and response.
No, Tegliptin M is not habit-forming. It is a medication used to manage blood sugar levels in Type 2 Diabetes and does not cause physical or psychological dependence.
No, you should not stop taking Tegliptin M without consulting your doctor, even if your blood sugar levels appear normal. Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic condition, and stopping medication abruptly can lead to a rebound in blood sugar levels and potential complications. Your doctor will determine the appropriate course of treatment.
Tegliptin M primarily targets blood sugar levels. While uncontrolled diabetes can affect blood pressure, Tegliptin M itself is not typically prescribed to lower blood pressure. Some studies have shown a modest positive effect on blood pressure with certain anti-diabetic medications, but it's not a primary indication. Discuss any blood pressure concerns with your doctor.
