Canagliflozin (Invokana)
Canagliflozin is a prescription medication that is used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes.
It belongs to a class of medications known as SGLT2 inhibitors, or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors.
Canagliflozin works by helping the kidneys lower blood sugar levels. It does this by causing the kidneys to remove sugar from the body through urine, which helps to reduce blood sugar levels in the body.
Canagliflozin is primarily used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It’s important to note that it’s not used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis, which are different conditions.
It is often prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not sufficiently control blood sugar levels. Canagliflozin may be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
Canagliflozin is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise, in managing diabetes. It should be used in combination with these lifestyle changes to effectively manage blood sugar levels.
Canagliflozin may also be used to treat other conditions or for other purposes such as:
- To lower the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes
- To improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease
The drug comes in an oral tablet form which is typically taken once a day, and it can be taken with or without food. The exact dosage and frequency depend on the individual’s condition and response to the medication, and patients need to follow their doctor’s instructions carefully.
In the United States, canagliflozin is available under the following brand names:
- Invokana
