Byetta Lawsuit

Byetta, an injectable medication for type 2-diabetes, has been reported to cause a range of mild to life-threatening health problems. To warn the public and reduce the incidence of Byetta complications, the FDA has forced Byetta's manufacturers (Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly) to include stronger, more specific warning labels on this medication's packaging. Even after these warnings and medical supervision, some patients will still develop serious life threatening side effects after using Byetta.

People who have developed incurable or life-threatening conditions after using Byetta will have a legal claim against Amylin and Eli Lilly. Among the serious complications that can serve as the basis for Byetta Lawsuits include:

* Acute pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas associated with immediate pain and other symptoms.

* Hemorrhagic pancreatitis (pancreatic swelling accompanied by bleeding)

* Necrotizing pancreatitis (pancreatic inflammation characterized by tissue death and, in many cases, potentially fatal infection).

Amylin and Eli Lilly are currently battling the first-ever Byetta lawsuit, which was filed by a Virginian man in the San Diego Superior Court on August 20, 2008. The plaintiff of this case developed pancreatitis after using Byetta. The plaintiff alleges that Byetta's manufacturers didn't adequately test the drug or warn patients about its associated side effects.

When a manufacture markets a product that causes serious life threatening side effects, they can be held liable for injuries that patients suffer as a result of using their product. If you have been injured as a result of using Byetta, you may be eligible to file a Byetta lawsuit to receive compensation for medical problems and pain and suffering.
