Invokamet Uses 

Invokamet, with the generic name canagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride, is an oral medication indicated to lower high blood sugar levels or improve glycemic control among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is prescribed together with a proper diet and regular exercise. By controlling high blood sugar, complications like stroke, heart attack, kidney damage, blindness, loss of limbs, and nerve problems can be prevented. However, this drug is not indicated for people with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis. 

This is available in Invokamet 150/1000 mg, 150/500 mg, 50/1000 mg, and 50/500 mg tablets. 

Invokamet Mechanism of Action 

This antidiabetic agent is a combination of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor and biguanide. It acts by reducing the reabsorption of filtered glucose and minimizing the renal threshold of glucose in which, as a result, increases the excretion of glucose in the urine. It also decreases glucose production in the liver, lowers the absorption of glucose in the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity through the increase of peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. 

How to use Invokamet 

To begin, read the Invokamet information leaflet that comes with this prescription product. Do not take any diabetes medication without fully understanding all drug information, including warnings or precautions stated in the manual. If you need further medical advice or have queries about this drug of choice, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Take the tablet orally. This is usually prescribed twice daily or as directed by your physician. Take this drug with a meal. Swallow it whole and drink a glass of water right after. Do not split, chew, or crush these film-coated tablets. 

Remember to take this oral medication regularly and exactly as prescribed. Make a dosing schedule to avoid missing your doses.

Do not alter your Invokamet dosage as it is based on your overall medical condition, other drugs you are taking, and response to treatment. Also, do not stop taking this maintenance drug abruptly to avoid worsening conditions.

Some conditions may impact how your body will respond to the medication. Further, you should discuss all supplements, prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products you are taking, for they may have drug interactions with this antidiabetic drug. 

Take this treatment with caution if you have an allergic reaction.

Signs of severe hypersensitivity are breathing trouble, skin rashes, hives/itchiness, swelling of the face and neck, and severe dizziness.
