Telitin 20mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used together with a healthy diet and regular exercise to control blood sugar levels. Telitin 20mg Tablet is normally prescribed when diet and exercise alone or other medicines do not prove sufficient to control your blood sugar level. Your doctor may prescribe it alone or in combination with other diabetes medicines. It can be taken with or without food. The dose will depend on your condition and blood sugar levels. Use it strictly as advised by your doctor.
Telitin 20mg Tablet is an antidiabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and postmeal sugar levels.
Does Telitin 20mg Tablet cause weight gain?
No, Telitin 20mg Tablet is not known to cause weight gain by itself. However, keeping a healthy weight is an important part of managing diabetes. Consult your doctor if you experience weight gain while taking Telitin 20mg Tablet.
Is Telitin 20mg Tablet bad for my kidneys?
No, Telitin 20mg Tablet is not bad for your kidneys if your kidney function is normal. However, it is important to inform your doctor if you have, or ever had, any kidney problems. If you have kidney problems, you may need dose modification.
Do I still have to manage my diet and exercise while on Telitin 20mg Tablet?
Yes, it is important to manage your diet and exercise while taking Telitin 20mg Tablet. In addition to medicine, making healthy food choices and being physically active are also important to effectively manage blood sugar levels.

Additionally, thirty minutes of exercise such as a brisk walk is recommended.
Can my blood sugar levels go too low on Telitin 20mg Tablet?
Yes, it is possible that your blood sugar levels may become very low (hypoglycemia). The chances are higher if you are on any other antidiabetic medicine or insulin along with Telitin 20mg Tablet. Additionally, blood sugar levels can take a huge dip if you skip meals, exercise more than usual, or if you have taken an overdose of Telitin 20mg Tablet. If you experience a sudden fall in your sugar levels, inform your doctor. The doctor may suggest dose modification to prevent your blood sugar levels from decreasing significantly (hypoglycemia). Follow your doctor’s advice and monitor your blood sugar levels regularly.
How long do I need to take Telitin 20mg Tablet?
Telitin 20mg Tablet only helps to manage your blood sugar levels but does not cure your diabetes. Keep taking Telitin 20mg Tablet as long as your doctor recommends it. You may have to take it lifelong. It is important to keep your blood sugar levels under control as any fluctuations in your blood sugar levels may cause serious problems. Therefore, do not stop taking it without talking to your doctor.
What happens if I accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Telitin 20mg Tablet?
If you have accidentally taken more than the prescribed dose of Telitin 20mg Tablet, your blood sugar levels may become too low (hypoglycemia). This hypoglycemia may be mild or severe. Monitor your blood sugar levels more frequently for the next 24 hours. Mild episodes of hypoglycemia (with symptoms like anxiety, sweating, weakness, tremors, fast heartbeat) can usually be corrected with the help of sugary foods such as sugar or glucose candy, fruit juice and glucose/glucon-D. However, it is important to consult your doctor to decide the further course of treatment. More severe episodes of hypoglycemia may even lead to a seizure (fit) or unconsciousness. This can be life-threatening and immediate medical help may be required.
