This case was being discussed in our group where the efficacy of teneligliptin was put under severe scrutiny and that triggered some academic searching activity among different conversational agents in the WhatsApp group: AS: Teneligliptin 20mg + Metformin SR 500 mg Combination is the choice of drug in what particular condition of DM?? RB: Teneligliptin is often palmed off by pharma companies to unsuspecting doctors as an oral hypoglycemic with a lower chance of hypoglycemia and even advocated in diabetics with renal failure but they hide the fact that the overall efficacy of teneligliptin is less in controlling blood sugars (as it hardly reduces blood sugars) and instead of throwing it away they are marketing it as a safe drug that doesn't cause hypoglycemia. AS: This exactly answers precisely what I wanted to know. Thank you, Sir 🤗 As I too had a suspicion regarding its efficacy out of a personal experience with one patient (family member) who was on Glibenclamide 5
This is an online E logbook to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here we share our individual patient's problems for learning inputs from the available global online communities of experts with an aim to solve that patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence-based inputs. This E logbook also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio.
