Are metformin and Invokana the same?

Metformin and Invokana are not the same. Metformin is a generic drug whereas Invokana is a brand-name drug. Although they both lower overall blood sugar, they work in different ways and have different dosages and side effects.

Metformin is a commonly prescribed diabetes medication that can be used to treat Type 2 diabetes, diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes), and polycystic ovary syndrome. It's usually taken once or twice daily depending on the formulation prescribed. Metformin may cause digestion-related side effects, such as diarrhea and nausea, and it should not be prescribed to patients with kidney problems.

Invokana is a newer diabetes medication that treats Type 2 diabetes. It's taken only once a day, but it is more expensive than generic metformin. Some rare but possible side effects include an increased risk for loss of limbs and yeast infections.

Invokamet contains active ingredients from metformin and Invokana for increased blood sugar control in those who are not adequately improving with just one drug. Ask your doctor if this combination medication is right for you.

How much does Invokana cost with insurance?

What is Invokana?

Invokana is a type of diabetes medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor. It is only prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes—not Type 1 diabetes. It lowers blood sugar in the body by helping the kidneys remove more sugar from the blood and excreting excess sugar through urination. It is best to use Invokana with a healthy diet and proper exercise, as recommended by your doctor. Consult a healthcare professional for medical advice specific to your health condition.

What doses of Invokana are available?

Invokana is available as a 100 mg or 300 mg oral tablet that's usually taken once a day before breakfast or the first meal of the day. You should monitor your blood sugar and tell your doctor if your blood sugar remains too high or increases. Read the medication guide for full prescribing information.

What are the side effects of Invokana?

Invokana may cause side effects such as frequent urination, nausea, dry mouth, and constipation. Using Invokana may also increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), vaginal infections, and vulvovaginal itching. Serious side effects may include bladder infections, kidney problems, high potassium, and dangerously low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia).

Although rare, Invokana may cause diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious condition when the body produces high levels of acidic substances called ketones. Warning signs of ketoacidosis include difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, confusion, fatigue, dehydration, and fruity-smelling breath. 

Invokana may also increase your risk of lower limb amputations. Notify your doctor immediately if you have foot ulcers or nerve pain in your legs or feet.

What drugs are similar to Invokana?

Other SGLT2 inhibitors that work similarly to Invokana are Farxiga (dapagliflozin) and Jardiance (empagliflozin). These drugs work by helping the body get rid of excess blood sugar through the urine. 

Similar in name, Invokamet is a diabetes medication that contains a combination of canagliflozin and metformin, and it is usually taken twice a day. The active ingredient in Invokana is canagliflozin and it is usually taken only once a day. Ask your doctor which one is better for you: Invokamet or Invokana.

Additionally, Glucophage (metformin), Glucotrol (glipizide), Diabeta (glyburide), Afrezza (insulin), and Actos (pioglitazone) are other diabetes medications that help lower high blood sugar. However, each medication may differ in dosage, age restrictions, side effects, and drug interactions. Your healthcare provider will help you decide the best treatment for your condition.
