The side effects of Invokana include hypotension, increased urination and
incidence of urinary tract infections. It needs to be avoided in people with
bladder cancer or in people with kidney function impairment. Invokana is
considered a "glucoretic" and lowers your blood sugar by decreasing glucose
reabsorption in your kidneys. Other medications in the same class as
Invokana include Farxiga and Jardiance. 
I take Jardiance and although I found the increase in urination annoying, it
subsided after about 2 weeks. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids. I also
lost 8 pounds, my fasting blood sugar levels have decreased by 20 points and
my high blood pressure is better controlled.

I hope I spelled it right, but as for the question, several of my friends
have been receiving calls regarding any side effects from this medicine.  I
called a couple of pharmacies, but none knew of any problems with it.

Is this another ploy, or on the level?
