How Tenebite-M Tablet SR works
Tenebite-M 20/500 Tablet SR is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Metformin and Teneligliptin. Metformin is an antidiabetic medication (biguanide). It 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 postmeal sugar levels. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.

Can the use of Tenebite-M 20/500 Tablet SR lead to hypoglycemia?

Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, fast heart rate, and feeling anxious or shaky. The symptoms are more likely to be noticed if you miss or delay your food, drink alcohol, over-exercise or take any other antidiabetic medicine along with it. Hence, regular monitoring of blood sugar level is important. It is recommended to always carry glucose tablets, honey or fruit juice with you.
Can the use of Tenebite-M 20/500 Tablet SR cause nausea and vomiting?
Yes, the use of Tenebite-M 20/500 Tablet SR can cause nausea and vomiting. In case of vomiting, drink plenty of water or other fluids by taking small frequent sips.
