Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Tenefit-M Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Diarrhoea: Consume plenty of water and healthy fluids to avoid dehydration.
Indigestion: If you have discomfort in your upper abdomen after taking this medicine, consider taking it after meals.

Tenefit-M Tablet has two active ingredients:

Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works by reducing the production of glucose in your liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose in your intestines, and improving insulin sensitivity, which increases the uptake and use of glucose in your body.
Teneligliptin (20 mg): This ingredient is a competitive inhibitor of an enzyme called DPP-4. It slows the inactivation of certain hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) in your body, leading to an increase in insulin secretion from certain cells in your pancreas, and a decrease in glucagon secretion from other pancreatic cells.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Tenefit-M Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, it's recommended to discuss with your doctor before starting on Tenefit-M Tablet.

Liver

If you have liver problems, caution is advised while taking Tenefit-M Tablet. Discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine. This medicine may affect liver function.

Kidney

Tenefit-M Tablet is not recommended if you have severe renal impairment. If you have a history of kidney problems, it's a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Children

It's advisable not to give Tenefit-M Tablet to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Tenefit-M Tablet under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age due to possible liver and kidney issues. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

In case you forget to take a dose of Tenefit-M Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next dose, just skip the missed one and carry on with your usual schedule. Don't take extra doses without consulting your doctor.

Keep Tenefit-M Tablet in a tightly closed container.
Store at room temperature between 20°C to 25°C.
Protect from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.
Always keep it out of reach of children.
Ensure to use the medicine before its expiry date.

Include high-fibre foods in your diet: Consuming foods rich in fibre, like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, can slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream and prevent spikes in blood glucose.
