Canagliflozin is a gliflozin inhibitor most commonly used to help manage blood glucose levels in type II diabetes. It is typically administered in tablet form and taken over the long-term, with treatment often spanning years; it is not a short-term treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis, nor is it beneficial in treating type I diabetes.

Patients usually buy canagliflozin under the brand names Invokana or Sulisent. It is also available in combination with metformin as Invokamet.

This medication is typically prescribed for patients over 18 years of age; effects on younger patients are not well-studied. Canagliflozin should not be administered to patients under 18 without explicit doctor instruction.

How to Take Canagliflozin

As a gliflozin inhibitor, canagliflozin encourages the excretion of glucose in the urine. This action lowers overall glucose levels in the body, which in turn helps alleviate symptoms of diabetes and helps inhibit or even halt further progression of the disease.

Patients are typically encouraged to adopt lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise modifications, to further enhance results. If these changes are adhered to over time the reliance on medications to control blood glucose may no longer be needed. Unfortunately this is not always the case; some individuals, even if militantly following dietary and exercise regimens, will still require medications to manage blood glucose.

Canagliflozin is a remarkably simple treatment; in fact many patients buy canagliflozin over similar treatments for its convenience. Administration is typically as follows:

• Start with 100 mg per day, taken in a single dose prior to breakfast.
• Dosage may be increased up to 300 mg per day if needed, again taken in a single dose prior to breakfast.

Patients who are taking other medications or have other medical conditions present may need to stay at lower 100 mg doses. Individuals with moderate to severe kidney impairment may need to avoid the medication altogether.

Because type II diabetes is associated with kidney damage patients are strongly advised to have kidney function evaluated prior to starting treatment. Likewise periodic checkups throughout treatment are highly advisable; kidney damage is unlikely to be detected until severe otherwise.

The Importance of Hydration

Patients planning to buy canagliflozin need to be aware of the importance of maintaining proper hydration throughout treatment. The medication increases urine output, which results in body-wide water loss; it is easy for patients to become mildly chronically dehydrated during treatment, which may not be readily noticeable but can worsen diabetic complications as well as cause complications of its own.

The two biggest concerns with canagliflozin and dehydration are increased risk of kidney damage and the increased risk of amputations. These are both, obviously, very undesirable complications, and in addition to ensuring proper hydration yet another reason to attend regular checkups to screen for developing problems. Caught early, it's likely these risks can be mitigated or even reversed.

Dehydration can also negatively influence the cardiovascular system, likely already under strain from diabetes itself. Patients should familiarize themselves with their daily hydration needs---taking into account personal variables such as weight and increased urine output---as well as symptoms of dehydration. Staying hydrated is a very simple way to avoid catastrophic complications.
