Invokamet Linked to Diabetic Ketoacidosis, Lactic Acidosis & Kidney Failure

Type 2 diabetes patients who are currently taking Invokamet are at risk for the development of potentially fatal conditions including ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis and kidney failure. If you are currently taking Invokamet and have suffered serious side effects, you could be entitled to compensation!

What is Invokamet?

Released in 2014 and manufactured by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Invokamet combines two medications – Invokana, an SGLT2 inhibitor and Metformin. Invokamet is prescribed to lower blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The drug works like other SGLT2 inhibitors by blocking glucose reabsorption and increasing glucose secretion in the kidneys. Excess blood sugar is then eliminated through the urinary tract.

What are the risks?

Each of the drugs that make up Invokamet have been linked to serious health conditions. Invokana has been linked with the development of diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious condition that can lead to brain swelling, coma and death. Metformin has been linked with the development of lactic acidosis, a condition in which lactic acid builds up in the bloodstream.

If you or a loved one experienced serious complications while taking medication, had complications with a medical device or experienced a severe injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Use this form to request a free consultation with a qualified attorney near you.

Lawsuits

The FDA published a warning in May of 2015 about the possible risk of diabetic ketoacidosis associated with SGLT2 inhibitors like Invokamet. In December of 2015, the FDA ordered manufacturers to change the labeling of all SGLT2 inhibitors to include warnings for ketoacidosis and urinary tract infections.
