User Reviews for Invokana oral

Has helped lower my A1C.

only going on my 3rd week ,worst side effect -very dehydrated- but I am also on other medication with same side effect - just drinking a lot of water now , urinating more frequently as expected - my blood sugar numbers are really good and in range - had my first reading under 100 in a year -- oh the best side effect is I already lost 10 lb - and have not changed anything but adding this medication --can not wait to see if this continues - that would be great I haven't lost any weight in 2 years of mildly trying Read More Read Less

A1c marginally improved. No weight loss. Diet stable. Developed external yeast infection 6 months ago. No better. Not sure how much longer I can endure it.

Been on for 1.5 months. Blood sugar stabilizing, bad yeast infection from it, so now am taking double the probiotics to help keep that at bay. Have lost 12 lbs since taking, am more thirsty on it as well.

pretty good so far, on it for about 3 weeks now. have noticed severe gas with this med tho, I can easily clear out a large room -oh well. other then that I will have to see what my insurance will cover after my year of 5$ co-pay is up. if it is too much I will just go back to victoza which was working well also.

I take Invokana in the morning, Medformin at dinner and Lantus at bedtime. BS levels are more stable now and do see increased urination and GI symptoms. Haven't had any weight loss yet which I thought was going to happen-not happy about that. It's only been a week since medication added.

I really like how the Invokana has helped with my BS but I've noticed that I can eat all the time even though it was to help you lose weight! Anyone else have this problem?

Since starting Invokana, my blood sugar readings are steadier and I do not have the big swings high or low. I feel better but do have to urinate more.

I take one 100 mg tablet first thing in the morning. Blood sugar readings before meals are good. Morning fasting blood sugar readings are better than they have ever been since I was diagnosed 14+ years ago. I also take metformin, glimeperide, Lantus, and Bydureon. Invokana manufacturer provided a card which makes my co-payment $5 until March 2014.

After the second day, I broke out in a reaction. I had hives from head to toe. Until now, I have not been allergic to anything. The doctor had to prescribe a steroid to offset the effects.

Middle aged male with Type2 here. Overall my BS numbers were OK but could be better (that's mainly on me due to my diet could be better). Invokana caused my BS to plummet to normal ranges (and was a cause for my first sub 100 since I was diagnosed). Definitely see increased urination, but not uncontrollable. Doctor warned me about possible urinary tract yeast infections but haven't seen that. Main drawback is my insurance copay on this drug is much higher than my other meds.

Prior A1c ~ 6.3. Current unknown. This newly available medicine induces a form of sugar elimination with which A) I have dealt throughout life(congenital renal glycosuria - identified around age 4),and B)I consistently evidenced until around age 70. *High sugar in urine, low in blood, excess Na and glucose elimination, too low BP at times. At this time Invokana, 100 mg, steady state, seems to lower all blood glucose readings to approx. normal (<150 - 90>). (Low carb diet) Sugar spill into urine stops at approx. 100 not 140. Metformin, Januvia did not predictably control (ranges from <100 to >250), even when drug kinetics were carefully taken into consideration. Read More Read Less

it lowered my fasting bg from 200 to in the 130's nice deal. yes makes you have a dry mouth more so. makes you pee a little more. I do take a probiotic to keep the yeast down being diabectic makes you pron to it anyways.

I have been using Invokana for about a month now and I feel better. I have dropped 17lbs (Yes, I know) I could not believe how much weight I dropped in just one month. I will say that out of no where I experienced a bad yeast infection and I don't know if this medicine is the cause of it. I'm curious to see what my numbers will look like next time I go in to visit my doctor. I also want to add that I went to the website and I'm only paying $5.00 for my medication using Invokana Carepath.

I just started this drug today but I am mostly writing to tell everyone I got a discount card from my doctor and only will pay 5 dollars a month for a year. Then hopefully my insurance will pay more than my co pay of 35 dollars. But 5 dollars is great, Will definitely be getting some yogurt to combat the yeast infections.

Been on this for a little over 2 weeks now,and love it. My glucose dropped from 270's to 130's in this short amount of time. If you keep hydrated,you will feel great. As an MLT,I see the results daily of un-controled glucose. The minor side effects are well worth this. Metformin did nothing but make me sick all the time.

Easy to use, however, weak, lightheaded, loss of appetite. Numbers a little better after taking.

I have never had such a terrible yeast infection in my life, since I was on invokana.

I have been taking for almost a month, I am not very satisfied with the effects. My numbers have not gone down to where I want them still in the 200's from 300-400 before taking the drug. Will not continue only using because was given a free 30 day sample. Can not afford the drug at $300 per month.
