WHAT VOKANAMET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vokanamet contains two different active substances, canagliflozin and
metformin. These are two
medicines that work together in different ways to lower blood glucose
(sugar) levels and can help
prevent heart disease in adults with type 2 diabetes.
This medicine can be used by itself or along with other medicines you
may be using to treat your
type 2 diabetes (such as 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. Vokanamet is used when
your blood sugar cannot be adequately controlled by metformin alone or
together with other diabetes
medicines. If you are already taking both canagliflozin and metformin
as single tablets, Vokanamet
can replace them in one tablet.
It is important to keep following adv
