What Is Invokana Used For?

Invokana, containing the active ingredient canagliflozin, is a medication used in improving blood glucose control and reducing future complications in some people with diabetes mellitus. Similar to dapagliflozin (Farxiga), empagliflozin (Jardiance) and ertugliflozin (Steglatro), Invokana is a type of drug known as a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors medication. Invokana blocks the SGLT2 receptors in the proximal tubules which are responsible for the reabsorption of filtered glucose. Through this mechanism of action, Invokana prescription medication reduces the amount of glucose reabsorbed and increases the amount of glucose excreted by the body. Invokana is not meant for use in people with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of ketoacidosis.
