Terium Tablet 20 mg (Teneligliptin Hydrochloride Hydrate)

Adult dose

The recommended dosage of this medication for monotherapy or combination therapy is 20 mg once daily. It can be taken regardless of meals. When concomitantly administered with sulfonylureas, a reduction in the sulfonylurea dosage may be considered to decrease the risk of hypoglycemia. No dosage adjustments are needed for patients with renal impairment or mild to moderate hepatic impairment.

This medication is used for the treatment of diabetes and should not be administered to certain patients. For example, it is not suitable for patients with allergies to the main component or other ingredients, patients with type 1 diabetes, nor for those experiencing diabetic ketoacidosis or coma. Additionally, it is also not recommended for patients with severe infections, those undergoing surgery, or patients with severe trauma. Use with caution in patients with severe liver impairment or heart failure, especially in those with severe heart failure. Patients taking sulfonylureas or insulin, as well as those at high risk of hypoglycemia, should be monitored closely. During treatment with this medication, hypoglycemic symptoms may occur; thus, patients should be well-informed about hypoglycemia and prepared to respond appropriately. The risk of hypoglycemia may increase when used in conjunction with other diabetes medications. Severe side effects such as acute pancreatitis may occur; if symptoms like abdominal pain or vomiting persist, medical attention should be sought immediately. Abnormal symptoms such as liver dysfunction, interstitial pneumonia, or skin rashes should also be monitored. This medication is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, and its safety in children has not been established. Elderly patients may experience decreased physical function; hence, their condition should be closely observed when using this drug. In cases of overdose, since there is no specific antidote, appropriate treatment and observation based on the symptoms are necessary. Furthermore, this medication may interact with certain drugs, so it is important to consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist if taking other medications. While taking this medication, patients should immediately inform healthcare personnel if they experience hypoglycemic symptoms, skin rashes, severe abdominal pain, or any abnormal symptoms and should understand and take care regarding medication usage.
