Ziten Tablet

Description

Ziten Tablet contains Teneligliptin (20mg), an oral anti-diabetic medicine from the class of DPP-4 inhibitors (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors). It is prescribed for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, a condition where the body cannot use insulin effectively to regulate blood sugar levels.

Teneligliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which increases the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones help the pancreas release more insulin when blood sugar is high and reduce glucose production from the liver. As a result, Ziten Tablet effectively controls both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels. Unlike some other anti-diabetic medicines, Teneligliptin usually does not cause significant weight gain or severe hypoglycemia, making it a suitable choice for long-term diabetes management.

Ziten is often prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin, depending on the patient’s blood sugar control needs.

Uses

• Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Controls both fasting and postprandial (after meal) blood glucose levels

• Helps prevent long-term diabetes complications such as kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and cardiovascular conditions

• Can be used alone or with other oral anti-diabetic agents for better glycemic control

How to Use
Take Ziten Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Do not skip doses and do not stop the medicine suddenly unless advised by your doctor. For best results, combine this treatment with a healthy diet, exercise, and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels.

Dosage
The usual recommended dose is Teneligliptin 20mg once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dose depending on your blood sugar levels and whether you are taking it with other anti-diabetic medicines. Never exceed the prescribed dose.

Possible Side Effects
Common side effects include mild headache, dizziness, constipation, and cold-like symptoms such as sore throat or nasal congestion. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is uncommon when taken alone, but may occur if combined with other anti-diabetic medicines like sulfonylureas or insulin. Rare but serious side effects may include allergic skin reactions, severe gastrointestinal discomfort, or liver function disturbances. Seek medical help if you experience unusual symptoms.

Precautions
Do not take Ziten Tablet if you are allergic to Teneligliptin or any of its components. Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver impairment, heart disease, or history of pancreatitis. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it may worsen blood sugar control and increase side effect risks. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should take this medicine only if prescribed by a doctor. Regular monitoring of blood sugar, HbA1c, and overall health is strongly advised during treatment.

With proper medical guidance, Ziten Tablet can help maintain stable blood sugar levels, lower the risk of diabetes-related complications, and improve overall long-term health in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
