Q What is the primary use of BENOGLIP-M Tablets?
BENOGLIP-M is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It helps control high blood sugar levels by using a combination of two antidiabetic medications that work in different ways.
Q What is the active composition of BENOGLIP-M?
Each tablet contains Teneligliptin (20mg) and Metformin Hydrochloride (500mg).
Q How does Metformin work in this combination?
Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
Q What is the role of Teneligliptin in BENOGLIP-M?
Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of natural substances called incretins, which help control blood sugar by increasing insulin release (especially after a meal) and decreasing the amount of sugar the liver makes.
Q What are the benefits of this dual-action therapy?
The combination provides comprehensive 24-hour glycemic control, managing both fasting blood sugar and post-meal glucose spikes more effectively than single-drug therapy.
Q Does BENOGLIP-M cause weight gain?
No, this combination is generally considered weight-neutral. It is often preferred for diabetic patients who are concerned about weight management.
Q Is BENOGLIP-M safe for the heart?
Yes, Teneligliptin and Metformin have favorable cardiovascular safety profiles, making them a reliable choice for long-term management of diabetes while prioritizing heart health.
Q How should this medication be taken?
It is typically taken with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset, which is a common side effect of Metformin. Follow the exact dosage and timing prescribed by your doctor.
Q What are the common side effects?
Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, or a metallic taste in the mouth. These often subside as the body adjusts to the medication.

It is manufactured by MK Healthcare in an ISO-GMP certified facility. The ALU-ALU blister packaging ensures that the active ingredients are protected from moisture and environmental factors.
