People with type II diabetes are often
prescribed a common drug called Invokana.
However, the FDA has warned that drugs like
Invokana can have harmful side effects, such as amputations and diabetic ketoacidosis,
in other words a
serious condition that can lead to diabetic coma or even death.
Ketoacidosis usually develops
slowly, but when vomiting occurs, this life-threatening condition can develop
in a matter of hours. Other symptoms of ketoacidosis includes dry mouth,
hyperglycemia, constantly feeling of tiredness, difficulty breathing,
confusion, and several others.
Many patients who have suffered from taking
Invokana have now filed lawsuits. The
lawsuits state that Invokana’s manufacturer, Johnson and Johnson, failed to warn
patients about the side effects and misrepresented the risks.
Are you taking Invokana? Have you suffered an injury? You may be entitled to compensation. Call the attorneys here at Portner & Shure
