All About Invokana Side Effects

Invokana (canagliflozin), manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, is used to control high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. The drug was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2013. Invokana refers to a class of medicines known as the sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2). SGLT2 is the transporter responsible for the reabsorption of most of the glucose filtered by the kidneys. The drug works by causing blood sugar to leave the body through the urine. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney and nerve damage, blindness, loss of limbs, and problems with sexual function. Invokana effectively reduces blood glucose levels compared to DPP-4 inhibitors. Side effects of the drug include the following:

- Urinary tract infection
- Labored breathing
- Ketoacidosis
- Kidney complications
- Dehydration

Although the drug helped several patients control their type 2 diabetes, Invokana caused a condition known as ketoacidosis, which leads to kidney damage and failure. If you experience complications from Invokana's side effects, such as acute kidney failure, consult a doctor immediately. Acute renal failure is a serious disease that leads to impaired renal function. This leads to dangerous levels of waste generation in the body. Symptoms include decreased urine or swelling of the legs and legs. Your doctor can check your condition and prescribe an alternative type of type 2 diabetes. Do not stop taking medicine without prior medical advice.
