Invokamet Information

Invokamet at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Invokamet (canagliflozin/metformin) is manufactured by Janssen in many countries worldwide, including Canada. The generic canagliflozin/metformin is currently unavailable at this pharmacy.

Dosage:

The brand Invokamet is available as 50 mg/1000 mg, 50 mg/500 mg, and 150 mg/1000 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Invokamet (canagliflozin/metformin) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone do not achieve adequate blood sugar control. It may also help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body cannot effectively use insulin, causing elevated glucose levels. Invokamet helps lower blood sugar and reduces the risk of long-term complications affecting the kidneys, nerves, eyes, and heart.

Mechanism of Action:
Invokamet (canagliflozin/metformin) combines two medications. Canagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor. It helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, lowers blood sugar, and may lead to modest weight loss. Metformin is a biguanide. It reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and helps the body use insulin more effectively. It also decreases the amount of sugar absorbed by the body.

Take Invokamet exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Product Monograph in Canada accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Invokamet, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Invokamet, it is essential to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, as well as all medications you are currently taking, with your doctor or pharmacist.

Invokamet should not be used if:
• You have a known allergy to canagliflozin/metformin or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• You have metabolic acidosis or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• You have severe kidney disease or are on dialysis.
• You have type 1 diabetes.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Invokamet. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Invokamet is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• A history of ketoacidosis

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Invokamet, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the highlights of prescribing information.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Invokamet. Invokamet may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Drugs that affect kidney function - ibuprofen, naproxen, ACE inhibitors, and certain contrast dyes used in CT scans may affect kidney function when used with Invokamet.
• Drugs that increase the risk of low blood sugar – Using Invokamet with medicines that lower blood sugar, such as insulin, can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Dosage adjustments may be required.
• Drugs that may alter metformin or canagliflozin levels - rifampin and certain anticonvulsants may lower canagliflozin levels, reducing its effectiveness. Cimetidine may raise metformin levels, increasing the risk of side effects.
• Drugs that may increase dehydration risk - Using Invokamet with diuretics may lower blood pressure or increase the risk of dehydration

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Invokamet is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, due to potential risks to fetal kidney development from canagliflozin. Metformin alone is sometimes used in pregnancy, but the combination is generally avoided. Invokamet is not recommended for use when breastfeeding. Metformin passes into breast milk in small amounts, while canagliflozin could affect the infant's developing kidneys. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.
