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.”
Invokana is used:

to treat adults with 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 and can help prevent heart
disease in patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It also helps to slow down deterioration of
kidney function in patients with
T2DM by a mechanism beyond blood glucose lowering.
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 nurse.
