Are There Side Effects When Using Invokana®? Is There a Risk of Injury?
In 2013, the FDA approved Invokana® (canagliflozin) to treat adults with Type 2 diabetes. This SGLT2 inhibitor—manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson—prevents high blood sugar by helping patients’ kidneys remove excess sugar through their urine.

- Dificultad para respirar
- Nausea or vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Confusion
- Unusual fatigue
- Excessive sleepiness
Left untreated, diabetic ketoacidosis—a very dangerous condition the FDA has linked to the use of Invokana®—can lead to diabetic coma or even death.
