Invokana linked to flesh-eating genital infections. According to the latest FDA warnings Invokana, Jardiance, Farxiga and similar diabetes drugs increase the risk of serious genital infections.
The FDA issued a warning earlier this week, warning that the drugs known as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors increase the risk of serious genital infections.
