Invokamet (active ingredients: canagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride) is a prescription medication used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

It is prescribed along with a healthy diet and regular exercise when treatment with both canagliflozin and metformin is appropriate.

Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. As a result, blood sugar (glucose) levels become too high.

Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar can increase the risk of serious health problems, including:

By improving blood sugar control, Invokamet helps lower the risk of these diabetes-related complications.

How Does Invokamet Work?

Invokamet combines two diabetes medications that work in different ways to lower blood sugar.

Canagliflozin

Canagliflozin belongs to a group of medications called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

It works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream. Instead, excess glucose is removed from the body through the urine, helping lower blood sugar levels.

Metformin

Metformin belongs to a group of medications called biguanides.

It helps lower blood sugar by:

  • Reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
  • Improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
  • Helping muscles use glucose more effectively.

Unlike some diabetes medications, metformin does not usually cause low blood sugar when used on its own.

Combined Benefits

By combining canagliflozin and metformin, Invokamet helps:

  • Lower blood sugar levels.
  • Improve the body’s response to insulin.
  • Reduce glucose production by the liver.
  • Remove excess glucose through the urine.
  • Support long-term blood sugar control when used with diet and exercise.

For the best results, take Invokamet exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well. Continue following your recommended meal plan, exercise routine, and blood sugar monitoring schedule while taking this medication.

Invokamet is available as an oral tablet that should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

It is usually taken twice daily with meals. Taking Invokamet with food helps reduce the risk of stomach upset caused by metformin.

Take your tablets at the same times each day and drink plenty of fluids unless your healthcare provider has advised you to limit your fluid intake.

Your dose will be based on:

  • Your blood sugar levels.
  • Your medical condition.
  • Your kidney function.
  • Your response to treatment.
  • Any other medications you are taking.

To help reduce the risk of side effects, your healthcare provider may start you on a lower dose and gradually increase it over time.

Be sure to tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you take, as some medications can interact with Invokamet.

Recommended Dosage

For adults who are not already taking canagliflozin or metformin, the usual starting dose is:

  • Canagliflozin 50 mg and metformin 500 mg by mouth twice daily with meals.

Your healthcare provider may gradually adjust your dose based on your blood sugar control, kidney function, and how well you tolerate the medication.

Important Tips

  • Take Invokamet twice daily with meals.
  • Take your medication at the same times each day.
  • Drink plenty of fluids unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.
  • Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and keep a record of your results.
  • Continue following your recommended meal plan, exercise program, and diabetes management plan while taking Invokamet.
  • If your blood sugar levels are consistently too high or too low, contact your healthcare provider. They may adjust your medication, diet, or exercise plan to help improve your blood sugar control.
  • Do not stop taking Invokamet without consulting your healthcare provider, even if your blood sugar levels improve.

Before taking Invokamet, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, including any medical conditions, allergies, and all medications you are taking.

Do Not Take Other Products Containing Metformin

Invokamet already contains metformin. Do not take another medication that contains metformin unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.

If you take other diabetes medications, your healthcare provider will determine whether they can be safely used together with Invokamet.

Lactic Acidosis

Because Invokamet contains metformin, it carries a rare but serious risk of lactic acidosis, a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment.

Seek emergency medical attention right away if you develop symptoms such as:

  • Unusual muscle pain or weakness.
  • Severe tiredness or extreme fatigue.
  • Trouble breathing.
  • Stomach pain.
  • Nausea or vomiting.
  • Feeling cold, especially in your arms or legs.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness.
  • Slow or irregular heartbeat.

The risk of lactic acidosis is higher in people with severe kidney disease, liver disease, dehydration, or excessive alcohol use.

Kidney Problems

Invokamet may affect kidney function, particularly in people with existing kidney disease or those who become dehydrated.

Contact your healthcare provider if you notice symptoms such as:

  • Swelling of the feet, ankles, or legs.
  • Changes in how often you urinate.
  • Changes in the color or amount of urine.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Unusual fatigue.

Your healthcare provider will monitor your kidney function before and during treatment.

Dehydration

Canagliflozin can increase urination, which may lead to dehydration.

To help reduce this risk:

  • Drink plenty of fluids unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise.
  • Contact your healthcare provider if you experience prolonged vomiting or diarrhea.

Symptoms of dehydration may include:

  • Dry mouth.
  • Increased thirst.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness.
  • Headache.
  • Weakness.

Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)

Invokamet may increase the risk of low blood sugar, especially when taken with insulin or other diabetes medications that lower blood sugar.

Symptoms of low blood sugar may include:

  • Shaking.
  • Sweating.
  • Hunger.
  • Dizziness.
  • Confusion.
  • Fast heartbeat.

Talk to your healthcare provider about how to recognize and manage low blood sugar.

Risk of Lower Limb Amputation

Canagliflozin may increase the risk of lower limb amputation, particularly in people who have:

  • A previous amputation.
  • Foot ulcers or sores.
  • Peripheral artery disease or poor circulation.
  • Heart disease.
  • Diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy).

Check your feet daily for cuts, sores, blisters, or signs of infection, and report any foot problems to your healthcare provider promptly.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before taking Invokamet.

Invokamet is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly during the second and third trimesters. Your healthcare provider will discuss the potential benefits and risks and recommend the most appropriate treatment for managing your diabetes during pregnancy.

Regular Monitoring

While taking Invokamet, your healthcare provider may regularly monitor your:

  • Blood sugar levels.
  • Kidney function.
  • Vitamin B12 levels (during long-term treatment).
  • Overall response to therapy.

Keeping your follow-up appointments and monitoring your blood sugar regularly can help ensure the medication remains safe and effective.

Can Invokamet cause weight loss?

Yes. Some people may experience weight loss while taking Invokamet. This is mainly due to canagliflozin, which helps remove excess glucose from the body through the urine. The amount of weight loss varies from person to person and should not replace a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How should I take Invokamet?

Take Invokamet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken twice daily with meals to help reduce stomach upset. Your dose is based on your medical condition, kidney function, blood sugar levels, and response to treatment. Take your medication at the same times each day and continue following your recommended diet and exercise plan.

Can Invokamet cause low blood sugar?

Yes. Invokamet may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially when it is taken with insulin or other diabetes medications that lower blood sugar. Symptoms of low blood sugar may include shaking, sweating, hunger, dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, and a fast heartbeat. Talk to your healthcare provider about how to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia and the best way to treat it if it occurs.

How long does Invokamet take to work?

Invokamet begins lowering blood sugar after you start taking it, but the time it takes to see noticeable improvements varies from person to person. Factors such as your blood sugar levels, dose, diet, exercise habits, and overall health can all affect how quickly the medication works. Continue taking Invokamet as prescribed and monitor your blood sugar regularly.

Can Invokamet cause dehydration?

Yes. Because canagliflozin increases the amount of glucose and water removed through the urine, Invokamet may increase your risk of dehydration. To help reduce this risk, drink plenty of fluids unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise, and contact your healthcare provider if you experience persistent vomiting or diarrhea. Symptoms of dehydration may include increased thirst, dry mouth, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, or weakness.
