Will Nausea go away after Invokana over time when your body gets used to it?

Nausea after starting treatment with Invokan (canagliflozin) is one of the possible side effects of the drug, which often occurs at the beginning of therapy and usually disappears after a few days or weeks as the body gets used to the drug.

It is worth taking the medicine at the same time of the day, preferably before the first meal, and take care of proper hydration, as Invokana increases the body's fluid loss. It is worth eating smaller and more frequent meals during this period, avoiding fatty and hard-to-digest foods, which can help alleviate the ailments.

If your symptoms are severe, last longer than 1-2 weeks or are accompanied by other symptoms (e.g. dizziness, vomiting, weakness), contact your doctor – you may need to change your dose or change your medicine.

I encourage you to provide your doctor with information about the symptoms you experience and any side effects associated with the medication you are taking. Such notifications help to better supervise commercially available medicines. You can read more about reporting side effects in our article:
