Afoglip M 1000 Tablet works in the body using two active ingredients:

• Metformin (1000 mg): This ingredient acts as a biguanide antihyperglycemic agent. It helps manage blood sugar levels by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver and absorbed in your intestines. It also improves your body's sensitivity to insulin, facilitating an increase in peripheral glucose uptake and usage.

• Teneligliptin (20 mg): A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, teneligliptin helps prolong the activity of incretin hormones in the bloodstream. These hormones are released by the intestine and aid in increasing insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells when blood glucose levels are normal or elevated.
