Pregnancy Interaction

• Eternex-M 1000 Tablet is generally regarded as safe during pregnancy and is occasionally administered under medical supervision, especially for women with type 2 diabetes or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
• Teneligliptin: It hasn't been proven to be safe during pregnancy; animal studies show no big risk, but there isn't much data on humans.
• Overall, pregnant women should only use the combination if their doctor says it's okay and the benefits outweigh the risks.
• Breastfeeding: Metformin may go into breast milk in small doses, but Teneligliptin's safety is not known. Be careful when using when breastfeeding.

Faq For Medicine

Q1. What is the purpose of Eternex-M 1000 Tablet?

It helps persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus keep their blood sugar levels in check, especially when diet, exercise, or taking Metformin alone isn't enough.

Q2. Is it safe to use this combo when pregnant or breastfeeding?

Only use with a doctor's supervision. Most of the time, insulin is the best way to keep blood sugar levels stable during pregnancy.

Q3. Does this drug make your blood sugar levels drop (hypoglycemia)?

When used alone, it usually doesn't induce hypoglycemia, but missing meals, working too hard, or taking it with other diabetes medicines may make it more likely to happen.

Q4: Is it okay to drink alcohol while taking this medicine?

Stay away from alcohol since it could make lactic acidosis (a rare but significant side effect of Metformin) more likely to happen.

Q5. How long does it take to work?

You may notice improvement in blood glucose within a few days, but complete effects show after 2–4 weeks of constant use.

Expert Advice

• To avoid stomach problems, take the tablet with food.
• Follow your doctor's advice and eat well and exercise often.
• While using this medicine, don't miss meals or go without food.
• Don't drink alcohol, and drink a lot of water to stay hydrated.
• Check your blood glucose and HbA1c levels on a regular basis.
• If you have muscle discomfort, trouble breathing, or exhaustion, you may have lactic acidosis.
• Tell your doctor if you're having surgery or an X-ray with contrast dye. You might need to stop taking Metformin for a short time.

Side Effects

• Side effects that happen a lot:
• Feeling sick or throwing up
• Stomach pain or diarrhea
• Not wanting to eat
• Dizziness or headache
• Taste of metal in mouth
• Side effects that are less prevalent or more serious:
• Lactic acidosis (rare but dangerous)
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar, especially when treated with concomitant diabetes medications)
• Itchy or rashy skin
• Liver enzymes that are too high (rare)
• If you have trouble breathing, feel very weak, or have nausea that won't go away, you should see a doctor right once.

 How it works

• This combination works in two ways to keep blood sugar under control:
• Metformin (1000 mg): A biguanide that lowers the amount of glucose made by the liver, lowers the amount of glucose absorbed by the intestines, and makes body tissues more sensitive to insulin.
• Teneligliptin (20 mg) is a DPP-4 inhibitor that raises the levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). These hormones help the body make more insulin and stop the release of too much glucagon after meals.
• They work together to keep blood sugar levels constant all day and lower the risk of complications from diabetes.

Medicine Interaction

• Let your doctor know if you are taking:
• Other diabetes medications, like insulin and sulfonylureas, may raise the risk of low blood sugar.
• Diuretics, corticosteroids, thyroid medications, or oral contraceptives may elevate blood glucose levels.
• Antifungal medications or NSAIDs may make lactic acidosis more likely.
• Alcohol raises the chance of getting lactic acidosis and hypoglycemia.
• Beta-blockers, which are heart drugs, may hide indicators of low blood sugar.
• Always tell your doctor about any prescription, over-the-counter, or herbal supplements you take.

 How to Use

• Take the tablet with food, preferably with breakfast or your first big meal of the day.
• Do not crumble or chew; just swallow whole with water.
• For consistent results, take at the same time every day.
• If you forget to take a dose, do it as soon as you recall. If it's close to the next dose, skip it. Do not take twice as much.
• Keep going even if you feel OK; diabetes needs constant care.

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (non-insulin-dependent)
• To enhance glucose regulation when dietary measures, physical activity, and monotherapy prove insufficient.
