INVOKANA® is not for people with type 1 diabetes. It may increase their risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in blood or urine). INVOKANA® is not used to lower blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes with severe kidney problems.
INVOKANA® is the first type 2 diabetes medicine approved to lower the risks of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), worsening of kidney function, cardiovascular death, and hospitalization for heart failure. In fact, it’s the first type 2 diabetes medicine in almost 20 years approved to treat diabetic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes.
In most clinical studies, INVOKANA® has helped people with type 2 diabetes reach the ADA-recommended blood sugar (A1C) goal of less than 7%.
In adults with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise
Although it’s not for weight loss, INVOKANA® may help you lose weight—on average 2–3%.
Results may vary by dose and when used alone or with certain other diabetes medications. Before starting any type of exercise, please check with your doctor.
In adults with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise
Although it’s not a blood pressure medication, INVOKANA® may help you see lower systolic blood pressure—on average 3–5 mmHg.

The safety and efficacy of INVOKANA® has been shown in 15 completed clinical trials with more than 20,000 patients.
The most common side effects with INVOKANA® include genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, and changes in urination.
