Usage

Invokana (Canagliflozin Hemihydrate) is a prescription oral diabetes medication used in combination with a proper diet and exercise program to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes (source). Invokana also helps to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes who have cardiovascular disease. This medication reduces the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), worsening of kidney function, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for heart failure in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic kidney disease with a certain amount of protein in the urine. Canagliflozin belongs to a new type of diabetes medication class called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works by helping the kidneys get rid of glucose from your bloodstream. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, vision loss, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual dysfunction (source).

It is crucial to take this medication exactly as your doctor prescribes and refer to the package insert. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects

The common side effects of Invokana may include genital infections or urinating more than usual (source). Stop taking Invokana and call your doctor immediately if you have any of the severe side effects such as:
• An allergic reaction;
• Diabetic ketoacidosis;
• Dehydration;
• New pain, sores, ulcers, or infections in your legs or feet
