Benefits of DYNAGLIPT 20MG TABLET

1. Regulates blood sugar levels:

• Dynaglipt 20mg helps maintain optimal blood glucose levels, particularly in patients with Type 2 Diabetes
• It reduces post-meal blood sugar spikes and supports steady sugar control throughout the day

2. Improves insulin response:

• By enhancing the action of incretin hormones, Dynaglipt boosts the body’s natural insulin production in response to meals and reduces excessive glucose release from the liver, improving overall insulin efficiency

3. Easy-to-take oral medication:

• This tablet is taken orally, once daily, with or without food, offering a hassle-free alternative to injections
• It’s simplicity increases management adherence and long-term diabetes control

How DYNAGLIPT 20MG TABLET Works

How it helps in diabetes management:

1. Enhancing incretin hormone activity:

• Incretins are natural hormones that help regulate blood sugar
• Dynaglipt increases the levels of these hormones, which stimulate insulin release after meals, decrease glucose production in the liver, help lower blood sugar levels more effectively

2. Controlling post-meal glucose spikes:

• One of the major challenges in diabetes is managing blood sugar after eating. Dynaglipt targets this phase specifically, helping to manage sudden sugar spikes

3. Reducing the risk of hypoglycemia:

• Unlike some other diabetes medications, Dynaglipt does not cause significant drops in blood sugar when used alone, making it safer and well-tolerated for most patients

4. Supporting long-term glycemic control

• Regular use of Dynaglipt, as prescribed by a doctor, helps in maintaining HbA1c levels, a key marker of long-term blood glucose control

3. Single-Ingredient Formulation:

• Unlike combination pills (e.g., with metformin), Dynaglipt contains only Teneligliptin, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost

4. Fewer Monitoring Requirements:

• Since Dynaglipt does not require renal dose adjustment in most cases, it reduces the need for expensive routine lab monitoring

5. Widely Available in India:

• Approved and marketed in India since 2013, Teneligliptin has widespread availability across urban and rural regions, keeping prices competitive

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance and/or reduced insulin production. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications like heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve disorders.

• Insulin resistance - Body cells do not respond effectively to insulin
• Pancreatic dysfunction - Reduced insulin production over time
• Genetics & family history - Higher risk if a parent or sibling has diabetes
• Unhealthy lifestyle - Poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise contribute
• Hormonal imbalances – Conditions like PCOS and thyroid disorders can increase risk

Common symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes:

• Excessive thirst and frequent urination
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
• Fatigue and low energy
• Blurred vision
• Slow wound healing and frequent infections

How type 2 Diabetes Progresses:

1. Early Stage: Mild insulin resistance, high fasting glucose levels

2. Intermediate Stage: Increased insulin resistance, post-meal sugar spikes

3. Advanced Stage: Significant insulin deficiency, requiring medications like Dynaglipt M or insulin therapy
