Invokana 100 mg Tablets

INVOKANA TABLETS

Invokana 100 Mg Tablet helps in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Patients
who are prescribed Invokana 100 Mg Tablet are also given a specific diet and
advised to exercise regularly.

Known to
be a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, Invokana 100 Mg Tablet
reduces the quantity of sugar that is absorbed by the body and
flushes it out of the system through urine.

INVOKANA USES:

The drug
should not be used by patients who suffer from type 1 diabetes, or individuals
who are allergic to any component that it has. Individuals with high levels of
ketone in the urine, or liver and kidney issues should also avoid Invokana
100 Mg Tablet.

Canagliflozin is used with a proper diet
and exercise program to control high blood sugar in
people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood
sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve
problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may
also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Canagliflozin works by increasing the removal of sugar by your kidneys.
