Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a generic for canagliflozin (Invokana)?
Not yet as of 2025. Canagliflozin is still under brand exclusivity as Invokana. All SGLT2 inhibitors remain brand-only at similar high prices.
How does canagliflozin compare to other SGLT2 inhibitors?
Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, and empagliflozin have similar glucose-lowering effects. Differences emerge in cardiovascular and renal outcomes data — your cardiologist or endocrinologist guides the choice.
What is the main risk specific to canagliflozin?
Canagliflozin carries an FDA warning about increased risk of lower-limb amputations, particularly in patients with peripheral vascular disease. Discuss your individual risk with your doctor.
Can Script Unlock help with canagliflozin costs?
While there is no generic, Script Unlock pharmacies sometimes offer lower cash-pay brand pricing. It is worth posting your script to compare bids.
Is metformin a good alternative to canagliflozin for T2D?
Metformin is first-line T2D therapy at under $10/month. SGLT2 inhibitors like canagliflozin are added for patients who need additional cardiovascular or renal benefits beyond glucose lowering.
