Generic version invokana?

Canagliflozin is the generic name for Invokana.

Current status (as of 2024): A widely available generic version of Invokana is not yet available in the United States. Invokana is still marketed under its brand name there, and any generic canagliflozin would depend on patent expiry or settlements. In other countries, generic canagliflozin may be available depending on local patent status.

If you want to check the latest status for your location, you can:
- Look up canagliflozin in your country’s patent/approval database or the FDA’s Orange Book (for the U.S.).
- Ask a pharmacist or your prescriber about availability and pricing.

If you’re considering cost or switching medications, tell me your country and any details, and I can tailor guidance (e.g., what to ask your pharmacist, potential alternatives, or patient assistance options).

Note on safety: Generic versions would have the same active ingredient and dosing (commonly 100 mg or 300 mg tablets). Side effects of canagliflozin are the same regardless of brand: risk of genital/urinary infections, ketoacidosis, dehydration, and in some cases increased risk of lower-extremity amputation (as noted on the label). Always use under a clinician’s guidance.
