Introduction
Tendia MP is a prescription medication that contains three active ingredients: Metformin, Pioglitazone, and Teneligliptin. It is available under the brand name Tendia MP. This medication is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Uses
Tendia MP is prescribed to manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps to control high blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity, ultimately aiding in the management of diabetes.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Tendia MP may vary depending on individual patient factors and the specific recommendations of the healthcare provider. It is typically taken orally, with or without food. Follow the prescribed dosage instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
Mechanism of Action
Tendia MP contains three active ingredients that work together to manage diabetes. Metformin helps to reduce glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in the body. Pioglitazone enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues, while Teneligliptin inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which helps to increase insulin secretion and reduce blood sugar levels.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, headache, and dizziness. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, consult your healthcare provider.
Serious side effects of Tendia MP are rare but can occur. These may include signs of liver problems (such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or persistent abdominal pain), signs of heart problems (such as shortness of breath or swelling of the legs), or signs of low blood sugar (such as shakiness, confusion, or sweating). If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.
