Question : Accidentally took an Invokana 300 at night. Only supposed to be one a day. I was supposed to take metaformin. That means I have had 600 mg in 14 hrs, not 24

Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

Taking an extra dose of Invokana don't cause low sugars. So no need to worry. You can continue with your regular medications and next dose of Invokana.
Drink enough water while you are on Invokana.
