Pioglitazone + Teneligliptin belongs to the category of antidiabetic medications.
Pioglitazone is classed as a thiazolidinedione. It works by making the body's cells more sensitive to insulin, a hormone that controls the level of sugar in the blood. This helps the body to use insulin more effectively, which in turn helps to lower blood sugar levels.
Teneligliptin is what is known as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme called DPP-4. This helps to increase the level of hormones known as incretins in your body.
