Description:
Tenglyn 20mg Tab contains teneligliptin, an oral antidiabetic drug belonging to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class. It is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults to improve blood sugar control.
Type 2 diabetes is characterized by the body’s inability to use insulin effectively and a relative deficiency in insulin production.
Teneligliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down incretin hormones, specifically glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
These incretins are released from the gut in response to food intake and play a vital role in regulating glucose levels. They stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas when blood glucose is high and suppress the release of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood glucose) when blood glucose is low.
