Diabetes Drug May Cause Life-Threatening Kidney Problems
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) are primarily produced by AstraZenica, Johnson & Johnson and Ely Lily. The drugs come in both brand name and generic forms. The medications linked to dangerous side effects include:
- Farxiga (dapagliflozin)
- Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin/metformin)
- Invokamet (canagliflozin/metformin)
- Invokana (canagliflozin)
- Jardiance (empagliflozin)
- Glyxamni (empagliflozin and linagliptin)
According to the FDA, these medications have been linked to ketoacidosis, which can lead to a diabetic coma, and kidney failure.
Some common signs of ketoacidosis that diabetes patients should be aware of include:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- High blood sugar levels
- Severe fatigue
If you or someone you love exhibit any of the signs of ketoacidosis, seek medical attention immediately.
FDA Safety Warning
Between March 2013 and June 2014, the FDA received approximately 20 reports from patients who suffered ketoacidosis or other kidney problems after taking Invokana, Invokamet and other SGLT2s.
In May 2015, the FDA publicly issued a drug safety warning announcing their investigation into reports of ketoacidosis, ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis. All patients who reported these issues were hospitalized or treated in the emergency room.
The FDA continued by urging health care professionals and patients to report any side effects involving SGKT2 inhibitors directly to the administration.
On May 16, 2017, the FDA added a black box warning to Invokana, Invokamet and Invokamet XR (canagliflozin), citing an increased risk of leg and foot amputations. The FDA found that patients who took Invokana had double the risk of leg and foot amputations as patients who took a placebo.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
