Description
GLYCELIPTIN contains teneligliptin, a modern oral antidiabetic (DPP-4 inhibitor) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, or other oral medicines are not sufficient for blood sugar control.
How GLYCELIPTIN Works
-
Teneligliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, raising incretin hormones in the body.
-
This action increases insulin release after meals, decreases glucagon (a blood sugar-raising hormone), and helps lower overall and post-meal blood glucose.
-
It is effective as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, and does not generally cause weight gain or very low blood sugar (unless combined with sulfonylureas or insulin).
Uses
-
Primary: Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults (as part of a comprehensive plan including diet and exercise).
