Product Introduction:
Actiglipt M 1000mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Metformin (1000mg) and Teneligliptin (20mg). This combination is commonly used for the management of Type 2 diabetes. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and helps control blood sugar levels, while Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, which works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, leading to improved blood sugar control.
