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.

In 2015, the FDA issued a warning linking the drug to cases of ketoacidosis—a serious and dramatic increase of acid in the blood. Complications of diabetic ketoacidosis include:

  • Difficulty breathing
  • 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. It is very important to seek medical attention if you notice any of the above symptoms in you or your loved one. Once you have talked to your doctor and are receiving treatment, contact our law firm to discuss your legal options.

Dangerous Drugs: Frequently Asked Questions

The side effects I experienced are listed on the drug's warning label. Does that mean I don't have a case?

Not necessarily. The presence of a warning on a label doesn't automatically mean the manufacturer adequately disclosed the true severity or frequency of that risk. If the company knew a side effect was more dangerous or more common than the label suggested—or downplayed it to protect sales—you may still have a viable claim.

The drug I took has already been recalled. Does that help my case?

A recall can be significant evidence, but it isn't required for a claim and doesn't guarantee recovery. What matters is whether the manufacturer knew—or should have known—about the harm the drug was causing, and whether they responded responsibly. In many cases, internal documents revealed during litigation show that manufacturers were aware of serious risks long before they warned the public or pulled the drug from the market.

How long do I have to file a dangerous drug claim?

The deadline varies by state—3 years in Arkansas, 5 years in Missouri, and 2 years in Oklahoma—and the clock typically starts running from the date you were injured or discovered that the drug caused your harm. Some exceptions apply, particularly in cases where the connection between the drug and the injury wasn't immediately apparent. The earlier you consult an attorney, the better—evidence matters, and these cases take time to build.
