What is Invokamet?

Invokamet is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes. Combining two active ingredients, canagliflozin and metformin, it helps lower blood sugar levels. Canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, reduces sugar reabsorption by the kidneys, promoting its excretion through urine. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and lowers hepatic glucose production. By targeting multiple pathways, Invokamet helps control glucose levels more effectively. It’s intended for adults whose diabetes is not adequately managed by diet and exercise alone. The medication is available in tablet form and is typically taken once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. As with any medication, potential benefits and risks should be discussed with a doctor to determine if Invokamet is suitable for individual needs.

What is Invokamet?

Invokamet is a medication prescribed to control and prevent high blood sugar, along with a proper diet and exercise in adults 18 years or older with type 2 diabetes. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can cause kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, sexual function problems, heart attack, and stroke.

Invokamet combines 2 medications, called Canagliflozin and Metformin that work together to control high blood sugar. Both medications belong to the drug class, anti-diabetic combinations.

Canagliflozin increases the amount of glucose that the kidneys remove from the body through urination, while Metformin decreases the amount of glucose that the liver produces and improves the body’s response to insulin.

Invokamet is not recommended:

  • If you are allergic or have had an allergic reaction to Invokamet or ingredients in Invokamet.
  • If you have type 1 diabetes as it can increase the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • For patients younger than 18 years of age.
  • If you have severe kidney problems or diabetic ketoacidosis.
