Byetta Side Effects

I’ve read a lot about Byetta medicine on a weekly magazine for diabetic people. I  found out that people were dying from it so I thought better check it out.  I know you will  going to ask what is Byetta (exenatide)? It  is an injectable  diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels.  It  is also used to treat type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes. In people with type 2 diabetes, high blood glucose (blood sugar) is a big concern. After a meal, blood glucose levels rise, often too high. Byetta slows down the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream. Byetta signals the pancreas to make the right amount of insulin at the right time to help blood glucose remain closer to normal.

After blood glucose levels off, Byetta stops signaling the pancreas to produce insulin. This effect helps the body avoid low blood glucose, too (called hypoglycemia). As a result, Byetta may help reduce your high blood glucose levels throughout the day. And that can mean better control, which can be one of the keys to helping manage your diabetes. Some people who tried  this  thought it’s a wonder drug especially those who wants to lose weight.   Because people taking Byetta may feel less hungry and eat less. And in clinical trials, on average people lost 5 pounds in 30 weeks, though Byetta is not a weight loss product.

But like any medication, there are side effects that some people may experience. In general,   Byetta Side Effects can include diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting, which may contribute to changes in kidney function. It is thought that the main reason nausea occurs is the effects of Byetta on the stomach. If someone starts vomiting, they can lower the volume of fluid in their body. If it gets to dangerously low levels, their kidneys could be damaged and kidney failure could take place. In 2007,  it was linked to a higher risk of Byetta Pancreatitis, a potentially life-threatening inflammation of the pancreas. The symptom is severe abdominal pain that is sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Stop using Byetta and call your doctor at once if you have severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, with nausea, vomiting, and a fast heart rate. These could be symptoms of pancreatitis.  If you or one of your family member who experienced it due to taking a Byetta medications discuss it immediately with your health care professional or you may also contact Byetta Lawsuit to consult and to know more about your  legal rights and options.
