Managing the Side Effects:

Lypgen 20 MG Tablet 10 contains teneligliptin (20 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

Teneligliptin acts by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which breaks down incretins. Incretins are hormones that stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas when glucose is present in your body.
Thus, it increases the levels of incretins in your body, which leads to a rise in insulin levels.
Along with increasing insulin levels, teneligliptin also decreases glucagon secretion.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Lypgen 20 MG Tablet 10 may interact with the following medications:

Antifungal medications: Antifungals like ketoconazole and itraconazole may increase the level of teneligliptin in your body, causing unwanted side effects.
Antibiotics: Medicines like rifampicin, a known CYP3A4 inducer, may decrease the levels of teneligliptin in your body, reducing its effectiveness.
Other antidiabetic agents: Combining Lypgen 20 MG Tablet 10 with other anti-diabetes medications like insulin can increase the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).

Drug-Food Interactions

No specific drug-food interactions have been reported with Lypgen 20 MG Tablet 10.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Lypgen 20 MG Tablet 10 may interact with the following diseases:

Type 1 diabetes mellitus: This medicine is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Diabetic ketoacidosis: Patients with diabetic ketoacidosis are also contraindicated from taking this medicine.
Pancreatitis: If you have a history of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) or other pancreatic diseases, use caution when taking this medicine as it may exacerbate your condition.
Heart disease: If you have severe heart failure, you should be closely monitored while taking this medication due to potential risks.

The dosage can differ based on individual factors, such as how severe your condition is and how you respond to the medication.
