WHAT BYDUREON IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bydureon contains the active substance exenatide. It is an injectable
medicine used to improve blood
sugar control in adults, adolescents and children aged 10 years and
above with type 2 diabetes
mellitus.
This medicine is used in combination with the following diabetes
medicines: metformin,
sulphonylureas, thiazolidinediones (combination therapy with
thiazolidinedione was only studied in
adult patients), SGLT2 inhibitors and/or a long-acting insulin. Your
doctor is now prescribing this
medicine as an additional medicine to help control your blood sugar.
Continue to follow your food and
exercise plan.
You have diabetes because your body does not make enough insulin to
control the level of sugar in
your blood or your body is not able to use the insulin properly. This
medicine helps your body to
increase the production of insulin when your blood sugar is high.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Bydureon is indicated in adults, adolescents and children aged 10
years and above with type 2 diabetes
mellitus to improve glycaemic control in combination with other
glucose-lowering medicinal products
including basal insulin, when the therapy in use, together with diet
and exercise, does not provide

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose is 2 mg exenatide once weekly.
Patients switching from immediate-release (Byetta) to
prolonged-release (Bydureon or Bydureon
BCise) exenatide, may experience transient elevations in blood glucose
concentrations, which
generally improve within the first two weeks after initiation of
therapy. Patients switching between the
prolonged-release exenatide products (Bydureon or Bydureon BCise) may
do so, with no expected
relevant effect on blood glucose concentrations.
When prolonged-release exenatide is added to existing metformin and/or
thiazolidinedione therapy,
the current dose of metformin and/or thiazolidinedione can be
continued. When added to
sulphonylurea therapy, a reduction in the dose of sulphonylurea should
be considered to reduce the
risk of hypoglycaemia (see section 4.4). Combination therapy with
thiazolidinedione was only studied
in adult patients.
Prolonged-release exenatide should be administered once a week on the
same
