Read on to learn what you need to know about the Byetta side effects. WHAT IS BYETTA?
Byetta (exenatide) is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. A receptor agonist drug means that it binds to a certain receptor and causes the same action as the substance that normally binds to that receptor. Byetta, by binding to and activating the GLP-1 receptor, tells your body to release more insulin, stops the body from releasing more sugar, and slows down digestion.
Byetta is a solution for injection available in pre‑filled pens of 5mcg or 10 mcg. The shots are given by the patient twice a day by injection under the skin in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. The starting dose of Byetta is 5 mcg, twice a day before a meal. After four weeks, the dose can be increased to 10 mcg depending on how well your blood sugar levels respond to Byetta injections. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH BYETTA?
Incretin mimetic drugs such as Byetta regulate the production of incretin, a type of hormone that stimulates the release of insulin in the body. Byetta does this by injecting patients with a substance that mimics a particular incretin called Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1). Byetta lawsuits allege this process overstimulates the pancreas causing cells in the pancreas to multiply resulting in pancreatic cancer.

It is not known for certain if Byetta or other similar incretin mimetic diabetes drugs can cause pancreatic cancer. However, Incretin mimetics treat type 2 diabetes by mimicking the action of GLP-1, a hormone that stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin. In certain people, this could possibly cause chronic inflammation of the pancreas, also known as pancreatitis, which is a known risk factor for pancreatic cancer.
