including dehydration, which may cause some people to have loss of body water and salt. this may also cause you to feel dizzy, faint, lightheaded, or weak especially when you stand up. other side effects may include kidney problems, genital yeast infections, urinary tract infections, changes in urination, high potassium in the blood, or increases in cholesterol. do not take invokana® if you have severe kidney problems or are on dialysis or if allergic to invokana® or its ingredients. symptoms of allergic reaction may include rash, swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing. if you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking invokana® and call your doctor right away or go to the nearest hospital. tell your doctor about any medical conditions, medications you are taking, and if you have kidney or liver problems. using invokana® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase risk of low blood sugar. it's time.

when he was born at the time when all the world was to be taxed, his birth was a statement about justice, if we have piece, we have justice for those wronged, but that he was born, with no place to lay his head, and in a ends that he came to shepherd, is a reminder that he -- this fate that we have, is for all of those who are hurting, and it is a fate that teachings home, care, concern, so woe need to be concerned about all those that are hurt being, that are helpless, and bring the message of hope that is in christ jesus. >> how do you share that message, though? one of the slogans on the streets, no justice, no peace, what you just said. >> if you feel like these grand jury rays not doing any justice how do you tell people please be calm, please, you know, react in a calm way?
