Introduction:
Based on pharmacological properties and results from clinical studies, teneligliptin has a great potential to be used as an alternate-day therapy and also the daily dose can be reduced to 10 mg. Clinical data also suggest its excellent efficacy and safety among older subjects.
Areas Covered:
We have reviewed and discussed potential approaches using teneligliptin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) including alternate-day therapy and reduction of dose from 20 mg to 10 mg per day. We have also discussed the potential of teneligliptin to address the needs of older patients with T2DM.
Expert Opinion:
It is an excellent option for use in older patients as studies in the geriatric population have shown encouraging results. Teneligliptin has a desirable pharmacokinetic profile that makes it a potential drug for use on an alternate-day basis. Teneligliptin has shown anti-diabetic efficacy even at a dose of 10 mg. These approaches may improve treatment satisfaction and patient compliance and can lower the cost; however, it is crucial to identify the subset of T2DM patients who can obtain maximum benefits. To verify these effects, large clinical investigations need to be planned and robust clinical evidence should be generated.
