Invokana (Canagliflozin) is an anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes (also known as “insulin resistance") along with a proper diet and exercise program; also to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular disease, heart failure and stroke. Canagliflozin belongs to a class of drugs called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works by helping the kidneys filter out glucose (blood sugar) from the bloodstream. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis. Take Invokana exactly prescribed. Other oral medications for diabetes can include: Jardiance, Forxiga, Rybelsus
[Canagliflozin (Invokana), a Novel Oral Agent For Type-2 Diabetes]. – 2013, S Sarnoski-Brocavich, O Hilas - Pharmacy and Therapeutics, found that "Canagliflozin is a novel agent that may aid in achieving glycemic goals in many patients with type-2 diabetes who are also following diet and exercise regimens and who have not responded adequately to other antihyperglycemic agents. This drug is generally well tolerated and may yield additional favorable effects, for example, on BP and body weight.”
