Byetta Side Effects

Byetta, manufactured by Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc., has been found to be linked to necrotizing or hemorrhagic pancreatitis in patients. Some other side effects found with the use of Byetta include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion and upper abdominal discomfort.

Byetta side effects such as unexplained, severe abdominal pain, with or without nausea and vomiting, could possibly be a sign of acute pancreatitis, a potentially serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Therefore, patients taking Byetta should promptly seek medical care if they experience unexplained severe abdominal pain with or without nausea and vomiting.

The FDA released an Information for Healthcare Professionals alert on Byetta (exenatide) on October 16th, 2007 explaining some of the side effects of Byetta. In this alert the FDA announced that in six patients the symptoms of pancreatitis began or worsened soon after the dose of Byetta was increased from 5 micrograms twice daily to 10 micrograms twice daily.
