Invokana FDA Warning

Invokana Lawsuit In May 2017 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a drug safety communication, confirming the increased risk of leg and foot amputations with the Type 2 diabetes drugs canagliflozin, the active ingredient in Invokana. Two clinical studies found an approximately two-fold increased risk of lower limb amputation in those patients using canagliflozin as compared to those on a placebo. Amputations of the toes and middle of the foot were most common; however amputations of the leg, above and below the knee, did occur. The FDA also warned patients taking Invokana to not stop taking the drug without first speaking to their health care professional. In 2015, the FDA also issued a drug safety communication warning that SGLT2 inhibitors like Invokana may cause ketoacidosis, a serious condition of too much acid in the blood. Ketoacidosis could result in hospitalization.
