Hi,
Invokana (Canagliflozin) is a medication used to treat type 2
diabetes, and it works by helping the kidneys remove excess
glucose from the body through the urine.
Metformin,
Glipizide, Humulin N, and Humulin R are also medications used to treat type 2 diabetes by different mechanisms.
It is generally safe to take Invokana along with Metformin, Glipizide, Humulin N, and Humulin R, but you should always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications or making changes to your medication regimen.
Your healthcare provider will evaluate your medical history and other factors to determine if Invokana is appropriate for you, and they will also guide how to take it properly. Invokana is typically taken once daily, and the timing can vary depending on your individual needs and medication regimen. Your healthcare provider can advise you on the best time of day to take it based on your blood sugar levels and other factors.
It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and report any changes or concerns to your healthcare provider. They can help adjust your medication regimen as needed to ensure that your blood sugar is well-controlled and that you are not experiencing any side effects or complications.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
