Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that enhances insulin secretion, managing blood glucose levels. It is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the levels of blood glucose, or blood sugar, are elevated. Glucose, derived from the foods you eat, is the primary energy source. Insulin, a hormone, facilitates the entry of glucose into cells for energy. In diabetes, the body either produces insufficient insulin or utilizes it ineffectively, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. This prolonged condition can result in health issues, but proactive diabetes management can help prevent these complications.

If you experience a sudden fall in your sugar levels, inform your doctor. The doctor may suggest dose modification to prevent your blood sugar levels from decreasing significantly (hypoglycemia).
