Frequently asked questions
What is Teneza 20 used for?
Teneza 20 contains teneligliptin 20 mg, a DPP-4 inhibitor used for type 2 diabetes. It is taken once daily, usually along with metformin, to lower blood sugar after meals.
Teneligliptin vs sitagliptin – which is better?
Both belong to the same gliptin class and work the same way. Teneligliptin is an Indian-approved, lower-cost option and is often chosen when kidney function is reduced; sitagliptin has longer international safety data. Your doctor will pick based on your kidneys, cost and other medicines.
Can Ziten be taken with metformin?
Yes. Teneligliptin is most often prescribed together with metformin, and combination tablets (teneligliptin + metformin) are common in India.
Does Teneza 20 cause low blood sugar?
On its own, rarely. The risk rises when it is combined with glimepiride or insulin. Keep a sugary snack handy and tell your doctor if you have hypo symptoms.
