Complete a simple eligibility form so our team can determine if you may qualify for Invokamet assistance.
Our specialists gather documentation, complete applications, and coordinate with your prescriber and the assistance program.
Once approved, your Invokamet is delivered through the assistance program while we manage refills and annual renewals.
Many patients try discount cards first. Here’s why the Patient Assistance Program through AffordMyPrescriptions is the better long-term solution for Invokamet:
Prices fluctuate — savings aren’t guaranteed month-to-month
Copay accumulators may prevent savings from counting toward your deductible
Coupon cards expire and require constant renewal
Still $600–$800 per month even with the best discount
Cannot be used with Medicare, Medicaid, or government insurance
Fixed $69.95/month — never changes regardless of retail price
Medication supplied directly through the assistance program
We manage all paperwork, refills, and annual renewals
Medicare Part D patients accepted
If denied, we explore alternative savings paths on your behalf
Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income and insurance status. Most programs follow guidelines that include limits of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because requirements vary by program and household, we encourage you to contact AffordMyPrescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for Invokamet assistance.
Invokamet combines canagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor — reduces renal glucose reabsorption, promoting glucose excretion in urine) with metformin (foundation T2DM therapy — reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis and improves insulin sensitivity). The fixed-dose combination simplifies polypharmacy. Canagliflozin has demonstrated cardiovascular and renal protection benefits.
How It Works:
Type 2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. Modern management targets glucose control, cardiovascular risk reduction, renal protection, and weight. Newer classes (SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists) provide benefits beyond glucose control. Canagliflozin blocks sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the renal proximal tubule — reducing glucose reabsorption and promoting glycosuria. It lowers HbA1c, promotes weight loss, and reduces blood pressure. The CANVAS and CREDENCE trials demonstrated cardiovascular and renal protection. Metformin reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity — the foundation of T2DM therapy for 60+ years. The combination provides complementary mechanisms.
Form and Use:
Invokamet tablets containing canagliflozin (50 mg or 150 mg) + metformin (500 mg or 1000 mg). Twice daily with meals. An extended-release version (Invokamet XR) is available for once-daily dosing. Renal function monitoring. Diabetes team follow-up.
Generic Availability:
No generic Invokamet. Individual components: metformin (very cheap generic), canagliflozin (Invokana — brand). Other SGLT2 inhibitors: dapagliflozin (Farxiga — brand), empagliflozin (Jardiance — brand), ertugliflozin (Steglatro — brand). Other SGLT2/metformin combos: Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin/metformin), Synjardy (empagliflozin/metformin), Segluromet (ertugliflozin/metformin). Full T2DM armamentarium: metformin generic, sulfonylureas generic (glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide), pioglitazone generic, DPP-4 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, Trulicity, Rybelsus, Mounjaro — brand), insulins. American Diabetes Association resources.
Warnings:
Diabetic ketoacidosis (including euglycemic DKA — can occur even with normal glucose; discontinue if suspected), lower limb amputation (canagliflozin — assess and reduce risk factors), Fournier’s gangrene (necrotizing fasciitis of the perineum — rare but serious), volume depletion/hypotension, urinary tract infections, genital mycotic infections (yeast, especially in women), acute kidney injury (dose adjust for renal function), hyperkalemia, bone fractures, lactic acidosis (metformin — rare; avoid in severe renal impairment, hepatic disease, alcohol excess). Other: hypoglycemia (especially with insulin or sulfonylurea combinations), GI effects (metformin). Renal function monitoring. Avoid metformin near iodinated contrast studies.
$600–$800 per month at retail pharmacy. Generic metformin costs $4 per month. Canagliflozin (Invokana) alone is $500–$600/month brand. Combining generic metformin + Invokana may be cheaper than the fixed-dose Invokamet.
SGLT2 inhibitors demonstrated cardiovascular benefits (reduced major cardiac events, heart failure hospitalization) and renal protection (slowed CKD progression) in landmark trials — canagliflozin in CANVAS and CREDENCE. Now recommended for cardiovascular and renal protection in T2DM patients with cardiovascular disease, heart failure, or CKD.
All are SGLT2 inhibitors with a similar mechanism. Invokamet is canagliflozin + metformin. Jardiance is empagliflozin (Synjardy is empa/metformin). Farxiga is dapagliflozin (Xigduo XR is dapa/metformin). All effective; choice by prescriber preference and insurance.
Diabetic ketoacidosis (including euglycemic DKA), Fournier’s gangrene (rare necrotizing perineal infection), lower limb amputation risk (canagliflozin), volume depletion/hypotension, UTIs and genital yeast infections (especially women), acute kidney injury, bone fracture, hyperkalemia. Metformin: lactic acidosis (rare), GI effects, long-term B12 deficiency.
Metformin is the foundation first-line T2DM therapy — very cheap generic. Adding an SGLT2 inhibitor is recommended for patients with cardiovascular disease, heart failure, or CKD (for CV/renal benefit) or additional glucose control needs. Invokamet simplifies polypharmacy. Discuss with your prescriber.
