Generic for invokana?

The generic name is canagliflozin. Generic canagliflozin tablets (usually 100 mg and 300 mg) are available in many markets. Invokana is the brand name from Janssen.

If you’re in the US, generics began to appear after the brand’s patent protections expired; availability and price can vary by pharmacy and insurer. Check with your pharmacist or insurer to confirm which generic manufacturers are available to you and the cost. You can also look up the FDA’s Orange Book for current approved generics.

If you’re considering switching from Invokana to a generic, talk with your doctor or pharmacist to ensure dosing and guidance remain the same.
