Description

Ziten-M 20/1000 is a high-strength combination medication used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It combines two powerful anti-diabetic agents with different mechanisms of action to help maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day and night.

In Kenya, this medication is frequently prescribed when Metformin alone is no longer sufficient to control glycemic levels.

Key Active Ingredients

  • Teneligliptin (20mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which help the pancreas release more insulin and reduce the amount of sugar the liver produces.

  • Metformin Hydrochloride (1000mg): A biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity, allowing your body to use its existing insulin more effectively, and decreases glucose absorption from the intestines.

Benefits of Ziten-M 20/1000

  • Dual-Action Control: Addresses both insulin production and insulin sensitivity.

  • Post-Meal & Fasting Support: Effectively manages “spikes” after eating as well as baseline sugar levels.

  • Weight Neutrality: Teneligliptin generally does not cause weight gain, which is a common concern in diabetes management.

  • Convenience: Combines two medications into one tablet, improving daily compliance.

Dosage and Administration

  • How to take: Usually taken twice daily with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects (like stomach upset) common with high-dose Metformin.

  • Consistency: Take it at the same time every day to maintain a steady level of medication in your bloodstream.

Important Safety Information

  • Prescription Only: In Kenya, Ziten-M is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). It should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

  • Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it increases the risk of Lactic Acidosis (a rare but serious side effect of Metformin).

  • Kidney Function: Your doctor may request regular kidney function tests (Creatinine/eGFR) since Metformin is cleared through the kidneys.

  • Hypoglycemia: While Ziten-M has a low risk of causing low blood sugar when used alone, the risk increases if used alongside Sulfonylureas or Insulin.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea or diarrhea (especially during the first week).

  • Metallic taste in the mouth.

  • Headache or upper respiratory tract irritation.
