1 Important Information About the Side-Effects of Invokana Invokana has been under consistent threat of showing many side-effects among the consumers of it. While over the past decade, several lawsuits have claimed Invokana as a cause of ketoacidosis, or dangerously high blood acid levels. Here is an overview of the side-effects of Invokana - Invokana Side-effects - Like every other medication, even Invokana has certain side-effects that should be noticed before consuming it directly. Low blood sugar Yeast infection Frequent urination Urinary tract infection Other common side-effects of Invokana include - Dehydration High blood magnesium levels Faintness or weakness Dry mouth Allergic reaction High cholesterol levels

2 Nausea Dry mouth Constipation Rare Invokana side effects may include kidney disease, hives, pancreatitis, and stomach cramps. According to the recent reports, taking Invokana and other SGLT2 inhibitors may also promote the risk of ketoacidosis, which might occur when a high level of acids called ketones pile up in the blood. If the condition is terrible enough, it may call for hospitalization. The various signs and symptoms of ketoacidosis include: Trouble breathing Unusual fatigue Nausea and vomiting Disorientation Injured patients may avail the compensation in case their claims are a result of Invokana. It is the duty of drug manufacturers to supply safe drugs. If that duty is not completely fulfilled, or if a drug maker fails to warn patients of the various side-effects associated with a medication, the manufacturer of the drug can be held responsible for injuries that may result. Patients who have consumed Invokana or another SGLT2 inhibitor and have faced side-effects, may be entitled to compensation subsequent to an injury. Compensation may include: Loss of ability to work Medical expenses Pain and suffering Lost wages In case, you have been suffering from the potential side-effects of Invokana and want to file an Invokana lawsuit, you may consult a reliable attorney that will follow up with you about your case

3 or may help you with all your queries. The information that you will share with an attorney will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to any third party.
