TENESPEC D TABLET 10'S

How TENESPEC D TABLET 10'S Works

• TENESPEC D Tablet is a combination medication designed to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It combines Teneligliptin and Dapagliflozin, each working through distinct mechanisms to achieve optimal glycemic control.
• Teneligliptin belongs to a class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. DPP-4 is an enzyme that inactivates incretin hormones. Incretins, such as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), play a vital role in regulating blood sugar. They stimulate insulin release from the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high and suppress glucagon secretion, which reduces glucose production by the liver. By inhibiting DPP-4, Teneligliptin increases the levels of active incretins in the body. This leads to enhanced insulin secretion and reduced glucagon secretion, ultimately lowering blood glucose levels, especially after meals.
• Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. SGLT2 is a protein found primarily in the kidneys and is responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream. By inhibiting SGLT2, Dapagliflozin reduces the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, causing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine. This lowers blood glucose levels and also provides additional benefits, such as weight loss and blood pressure reduction. Dapagliflozin works independently of insulin, making it effective even in individuals with insulin resistance.
• The synergistic action of Teneligliptin and Dapagliflozin provides comprehensive glycemic control. Teneligliptin enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon secretion, while Dapagliflozin promotes glucose excretion through the kidneys. This dual mechanism helps to effectively lower both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels. Furthermore, Dapagliflozin's insulin-independent action complements Teneligliptin's mechanism, making the combination suitable for a wide range of patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients should use TENESPEC D Tablet 10'S as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.
