Buy Invokana

Invokana (canagliflozin) is an oral medication for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It belongs to a class of drugs called sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Invokana works by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose from the bloodstream through the urine. Reducing blood sugar levels helps improve glycemic control while offering potential benefits such as weight loss and lower blood pressure.

Your doctor may prescribe Invokana if you are an adult with type 2 diabetes who cannot adequately control their blood sugar levels through diet and exercise alone. It may be used as a monotherapy or in combination with other diabetes medications, such as metformin, insulin, or DPP-4 inhibitors. Invokana is usually taken once daily before the first meal of the day.

In addition to managing blood sugar, Invokana can reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in individuals with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease. It may also help slow the progression of kidney disease in certain patients with diabetes-related kidney problems.
