WHAT BYETTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Byetta contains the active substance exenatide. It is an injectable
medicine used to improve blood
sugar control in adults with type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes
mellitus.
Byetta is used with other diabetic medicines called metformin,
sulphonylureas, thiazolidinediones and
basal or long acting insulins. Your doctor is now prescribing Byetta
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 if your body is not able to use the insulin properly.
The medicine in Byetta helps your
body to increase the production of insulin when your blood sugar is
high.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE BYETTA
DO NOT USE BYETTA:
-
If you are allergic to exenatide or any of the other ingredients of
this medicine (listed in
section 6).
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
