How Teneligliptin 20 mg and Pioglitazone 30 mg Tablets Works

Teneligliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of incretins to stimulate insulin release and decrease glucagon levels in the blood, reducing blood sugar levels. Pioglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin, facilitating the use of blood sugar by the cells. Together, they provide effective control of blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
