Uses of Actiglipt M 1000 mg

• Actiglipt M 1000 mg is a fixed-dose combination medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• It combines two active ingredients, Metformin and a DPP-4 inhibitor (e.g., Sitagliptin or other DPP-4 inhibitors), to achieve better blood sugar control.
• Metformin is a biguanide that helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, resulting in better glucose utilization.
• The DPP-4 inhibitor works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, such as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1), which stimulate insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon release, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
• Actiglipt M 1000 mg helps lower fasting and postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the overall glycemic burden in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
• The medication is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which includes lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and regular exercise.
• Actiglipt M 1000 mg may be used as an initial therapy for newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes or as an adjunct to other antidiabetic medications when adequate blood sugar control is not achieved with monotherapy.

How Does Actiglipt M 1000 Works?

Actiglipt M 1000mg Tablet is an antidiabetic medicine. It contains two medicines namely metformin and teneligliptin.

Additionally, it can stop glucose production by the liver and reduces its absorption in the body.

Teneligliptin controls blood sugar levels by blocking the actions of an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 that reduces insulin secretion in the body. Collectively, Actiglipt M 1000mg Tablet controls blood sugar levels and improve glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes.
