Introduction

Uses

Tendia-MP is prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise to control high blood sugar and prevent complications associated with diabetes.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Tendia-MP may vary depending on individual factors such as age, overall health, and response to treatment. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the recommended starting dose is one tablet taken orally once daily, preferably with meals.

Mechanism of Action

Tendia-MP contains three active ingredients that work together to help regulate blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

• Metformin: It helps to decrease the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin.
• Pioglitazone: It increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which helps improve glucose uptake by the cells.
• Teneligliptin: It works by inhibiting an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which increases the levels of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones stimulate insulin release and reduce the production of glucose by the liver.
