WHAT INVOKANA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Invokana contains the active substance canagliflozin which belongs to
a group of medicines called
“blood-glucose lowering drugs.”
“Blood-glucose lowering drugs” are medicines used by adults to
treat type 2 diabetes.
This medicine works by increasing the amount of sugar removed from
your body in your urine. This
reduces the amount of sugar in your blood.
Invokana can be used by itself or along with other medicines you may
be using to treat your type 2
diabetes (such as metformin, insulin, a DPP-4 inhibitor [such as
sitagliptin, saxagliptin, or linagliptin],
a sulphonylurea [such as glimepiride or glipizide], or pioglitazone)
that lower blood sugar levels. You
may already be taking one or more of these to treat your type 2
diabetes.
It is also important to keep following advice about diet and exercise
given by your doctor or nurs
