Harmed by Invokana

Two years ago, Invokana, an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels, was FDA approved to treat Type 2 diabetes. Since then, the FDA has received numerous adverse event reports involving side effects from the medication, including kidney failure or impairment, myocardial infarction (heart attacks), and ketoacidosis, a serious condition that occurs when insulin levels are too low. Without enough insulin, the body breaks down fat as an alternative source of energy, resulting in a buildup of toxic acids in the bloodstream . If untreated, ketoacidosis can result in a patient suffering a diabetic coma, extended hospitalization and even death.

While Invokana has not been recalled to date, in May 2015, the FDA issued a warning to doctors and patients to be aware of the ketoacidosis symptoms including dehydration, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, confusion, and unusual fatigue or sleepiness. Patients experiencing these side effects should seek immediate medical attention.

It often takes many years before all the facts come out that will lead to a voluntary or involuntary recall. In the meantime, lawsuits have begun against Janssen Pharmaceuticals, alleging that the drug maker failed to adequately warn consumers and the medical community about the potential risks of kidney failure, heart attacks and ketoacidosis. Victims may recover damages including:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Disability and impairments
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering 

If a person dies from complications caused by Invokana, family members may be able to recover damages, including:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical expenses prior to death
• Loss of financial support
• Loss of companionship
• Pain and suffering
