Byetta

Byetta (also known as Exenatide)  is a medication approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is given through an injection twice a day or as directed by a physician. 

The main side effects of Byetta include:

  • acidic or sour stomach
  • belching
  • diarrhea
  • heartburn
  • indigestion
  • nausea
  • vomiting

After reviewing several different accounts of  serious health complications resulting from the use of Byetta, the United States Food and Drug Administration added a warning to the labeling of Byetta in 2007. In August 2008, four additional deaths were reported to the FDA; while no definite relationship had been established, the FDA was reportedly considering additional changes to the drug's labeling.
