What are the Allegations by Patients in Invokana Cases?

Invokana is a powerful SGLT2 inhibitor drug prescribed to people with Type-2 diabetes. It was approved by the FDA in 2013 and marketed heavily by Johnson & Johnson. Unfortunately, the manufacturers weren’t as diligent with their testing as they should be. They released their product into the market without warning people of serious its serious side effects. At Invokana411, we have handled several consultations with victims and are familiar with the latest updates. Here are some of the common allegations made by patients:

side effects invokana

1. Failing to warn of risks

Invokana manufacturers failed to warn people of risks of this medicine. They concealed all side effects when the drug was first launched and continue to do so after post-market reports of complications started coming in. Companies should have informed doctors and patients of unreasonably high risks like diabetic ketoacidosis, possible amputations, blood infections, kidney problems, cardiovascular problems, etc. Failure to inform the medical community placed many patients at risk.

2. Lack of proper testing

If manufacturers didn’t have enough information regarding side effects or complications, they weren’t thorough enough in their tests and trials. Plaintiffs claim companies shouldn’t have released SGLT2 drugs into the market without adequate research, especially if they’re marketing something as being safe and effective. 


3. Late public notification

Manufacturers knew of complications after the medicine was in the market, but they still waited until December 2015, nearly two years after the launch. The warnings were only published after FDA mandated it. During that two year period, millions of patients received this treatment and suffered consequences.

4. Hospitalizations

Many families hire an Invokana lawyer because they lost a loved one due to complications. Patients are hospitalized in critical condition, which could’ve been avoided if manufacturers provided proper warnings. Plaintiffs want compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses, pain, and suffering and loss of income.
