Vokanamet

Vokanamet, an oral anti-diabetic medication, is used to treat type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes sufferers have a pancreas that doesn't make enough insulin or are unable to properly use it. Diabetes is characterised by a higher level of insulin, which Vokanamet helps to control.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic illness that can affect your entire life. However, it is more common in older people. You may experience excessive thirst, frequent urination, extreme tiredness, or fatigue.

Vokanamet can help you manage this disease.

Vokanamet can only be prescribed by a doctor. Follow the instructions of your doctor. Also, make sure to read the information leaflet in the medication package.

To lower side effects, take the tablets whole with a glass of water. It can be taken at any time, but it is best to keep your preferred time for taking it in mind.

Vokanamet contains active ingredients canagliflozin and metformin, in strengths of either 50 mg/850 mg, 50 mg/1000 mg, 150 mg/850 mg or 150 mg/1000 mg respectively per tablet.
