These problems can be life threatening, and if you have suffered kidney failure or a heart attack, Invokana may have been responsible.

Risks of Invokana Use
Invokana can result in injuries that affect a person their entire life, and possibly lead to their death. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, increased heart rate, or headaches after taking Invokana or another SGLT2 inhibitor, you should consult with a physician immediately.
Potential side effects of Invokana include:
- Urinary tract infection (UTI) - Invokana helps the body expel excess sugar through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, urine with large amounts of sugar can cause an infection the urinary tract.
- Heart attack - One of the side effects of invokana is that it effects the cardiovascular system's ability to distribute oxygen. As a result, the heart may be cut off from its supply of oxygen and start to fail.
- Stroke - Another result of cardiovascular issues, strokes occur when oxygen does not flow to the brain. This can result in permanent disability as brain cells die during the event.
- Amputation - Any area of the body cut off from its oxygen supply is at risk. If a foot or hand does not receive oxygen, the cells begin to die and gangrene may set in, forcing the victim to receive an amputation.
