What Is Invokamet?
Invokamet (canagliflozin-metformin) is a prescription medication used to manage Type 2 Diabetes in adults. It works by combining a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, which blocks glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and promotes urinary glucose excretion, with metformin, which reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, many people with Type 2 Diabetes can achieve meaningful improvements in blood sugar control alongside diet and exercise.

Is Online Invokamet Treatment Right for You?
Invokamet may be appropriate for adults with Type 2 Diabetes who need blood sugar control beyond what a single medication provides. Candidates are typically adults who have adequate kidney function, are not pregnant, and do not have conditions that contraindicate metformin such as severe renal impairment or metabolic acidosis.
Because metformin affects kidney and liver function, and canagliflozin affects urinary glucose excretion, a complete medical history including current medications, kidney function, and cardiovascular history is required before prescribing. Your physician will review this information to determine whether Invokamet is safe and appropriate for you.

Frequently asked questions
Invokamet is a combination tablet containing canagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and metformin. Canagliflozin lowers blood sugar by causing the kidneys to excrete excess glucose in urine, while metformin reduces the amount of glucose the liver produces and helps the body use insulin more effectively. Together, they provide complementary blood sugar lowering in adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
Invokamet is not appropriate for people with Type 1 Diabetes, severe kidney impairment (eGFR below 30 mL/min), a history of diabetic ketoacidosis, or conditions that increase the risk of lactic acidosis such as significant liver disease or heavy alcohol use. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy. A physician will review your full medical history before prescribing.
The most common side effects include urinary tract infections, genital yeast infections, increased urination, nausea, and diarrhea. Metformin-related side effects such as stomach upset are often reduced by taking the tablet with food. Rare but serious risks include lactic acidosis from metformin and diabetic ketoacidosis from the canagliflozin component.
Invokamet is taken twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Your physician will prescribe the dose that matches your current metformin dose and your blood sugar control goals. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication without speaking to your doctor first.
Yes. Kidney function should be assessed before starting Invokamet and periodically during treatment because both canagliflozin and metformin depend on adequate renal function. HbA1c testing every three to six months is standard practice to evaluate blood sugar control. Your prescribing physician may recommend additional monitoring based on your individual health history.
When used alone, Invokamet has a low risk of hypoglycemia because it does not stimulate insulin secretion. However, the risk increases when it is combined with insulin or insulin secretagogues such as sulfonylureas. If you take any of these additional medications, your physician will discuss how to recognize and manage low blood sugar.
