Uses
Tenelia (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydreate) is a type of drug known as a DPP-4 inhibitor, and it is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Patients are treated with this drug to help increase the levels of insulin, so as to reduce the levels of glucose in the blood. It also helps to inhibit the release of glucagon. This medicine works by blocking the action of a type of enzyme known as DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), which leads to an increase in GLP-1 levels (a type of hormone that helps contribute to a reduction in blood glucose levels).

Dosage and Administration
Patients who are treating diabetes with Tenelia (Teneligliptin Hydrobromide Hydreate) must take the exact amount of medicine that their doctor directs them to take. Adult patients are sometimes directed by their doctor to take 20mg (one tablet), once per day. The doctor providing the treatment will monitor the patient, and if a satisfactory response is not achieved, the patient may be told to take 40mg (two tablets), once per day. It is important to follow any instructions given by the doctor.
