Pregnancy Interaction

• Eternex-M 500 Tablet : Generally regarded as safe with medical oversight during pregnancy. Sometimes doctors give it to people with gestational diabetes or PCOS to help keep their blood sugar in check.
• Teneligliptin: Limited human data; animal studies do not demonstrate severe harm, but human safety has not been thoroughly proven.
• In general, the combination should only be used if a doctor says so and the advantages are greater than the hazards.
• Breastfeeding: Metformin gets into breast milk in small doses, but we don't know if Teneligliptin is safe to use during breastfeeding. Don't use it while breastfeeding unless your doctor tells you to.

Faq For Medicine

Q1. What do people take Eternex-M 500 Tablet for?

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

Q2: Is it safe to take this mix when pregnant or breastfeeding?

If your doctor doesn't tell you to, you shouldn't take it while pregnant or breastfeeding. Insulin is the best choice for most pregnant women.

Q3. Does this medicine make your blood sugar too low (hypoglycemia)?

It normally doesn't cause low blood sugar on its own, but missing meals or taking it with other diabetes medications may make it more likely.

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

Stay away from alcohol. It can make lactic acidosis (a rare but dangerous side effect of Metformin) more likely.

Q5. Is it okay to take it on an empty stomach?

No. It should be taken with food to avoid stomach problems and help the body absorb it better.

Expert Advice

• To avoid nausea or stomach pain, take the tablet with food.
• Follow your doctor's advice and eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
• Don't miss meals; always eat on schedule to keep your blood sugar from dropping.
• Stay away from alcohol and getting dehydrated.
• Check your blood sugar and HbA1c readings on a regular basis.
• If you start to have trouble breathing, feel very tired, have muscle pain, or have stomach ache, stop taking the drug right away and call your doctor. These are signs of lactic acidosis.
• Tell your doctor if you're having surgery or X-rays 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 upset or diarrhea
• Not wanting to eat
• Dizziness or headache
• Taste of metal in mouth

• Lactic acidosis (rare but dangerous)
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
• Itching or a rash on the skin (from Teneligliptin)
• Feeling weak or tired
• Increased liver enzymes (rare)
• If you are throwing up a lot, breathing quickly, or feeling confused, you need to see a doctor right once.

 How It Works

• This medicine has two different antidiabetic drugs that work well together:
• Metformin (500 mg) is a biguanide that lowers the amount of glucose made in the liver, decreases the absorption of glucose in the intestines, and makes insulin work better.
• Teneligliptin (20 mg) is a DPP-4 inhibitor that raises the levels of the body's endogenous incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). This makes the body release more insulin and less glucagon after meals.
• Together, they help keep blood sugar levels stable both before and after meals.

Medicine Interaction

• Tell your doctor if you are taking:
• Other antidiabetic drugs (insulin, sulfonylureas) - may increase risk of low blood sugar.
• Corticosteroids, diuretics, thyroid medications, or birth control pills taken by mouth may elevate blood sugar levels.
• Beta-blockers (for high blood pressure or heart problems) may hide indicators of low blood sugar.
• NSAIDs or antifungal medications may raise the risk of lactic acidosis.
• Alcohol raises the risk of low blood sugar and metabolic problems.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines you use, whether they are prescription, herbal, or over-the-counter.

 How to Use

• Take the tablet with or after meals, but it's best to do it with breakfast or your first substantial meal.
• Do not crush or chew. Just swallow it whole with water.
• To keep your blood sugar levels stable, take it at the same time every day.
• Take your dose as soon as you remember if you forget it. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip it. Don't take two doses.
• Keep taking it even if you feel fine, because stopping suddenly could make your blood sugar control worse.

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (non-insulin-dependent)
