Medicine information
Uses & overview
TENELIGOLD PM 500 is an oral antidiabetic combination tablet marketed by Steris Healthcare. It contains Teneligliptin 20 mg, Pioglitazone 15 mg, and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg Extended Release. These three active ingredients work through complementary mechanisms to support blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Teneligliptin 20 mg belongs to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class. It helps regulate blood glucose by enhancing incretin hormone activity, supporting glucose-dependent insulin secretion and helping reduce glucagon release. Pioglitazone 15 mg belongs to the thiazolidinedione class. It helps improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, supporting better glucose utilization in the body's tissues. Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg Extended Release belongs to the biguanide class. It helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. The extended-release formulation is designed to release the medicine gradually. This combination may be prescribed when a healthcare professional determines that all three medicines are suitable for an individual's diabetes management plan. Treatment should be supported by a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring. TENELIGOLD PM 500 should be used only under medical supervision. Its suitability depends on the patient's blood glucose levels, medical history, kidney and liver function, heart health, current medicines, and response to treatment.
