Prescribed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, Byetta is an injectable medication that, since its 2005 FDA approval, has been found to cause a few rare, potentially fatal side effects.

To date, serious side effects of this medication have caused at least 6 Byetta deaths. FDA reports also indicate that around 40 patients have developed life-threatening Byetta side effects.

Since experts estimate that only 10 to 25 percent of patients report negative drug experiences to the FDA, it's likely that hundreds of patients have experienced serious Byetta side effects and/or Byetta death.

Byetta is produced by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly.

Byetta Side Effects

Although it's common for patients to develop headaches or nausea when using a Byetta pen, in rare instances, some may develop:

• Acute pancreatitis, a sudden inflammation of the pancreas that causes intense upper abdominal pain, jaundice and bloating
• Hemorrhagic pancreatitis, swelling of the pancreas that is accompanied by internal bleeding
• Necrotizing pancreatitis, pancreatic inflammation marked by cell and tissue death (Necrotizing pancreatitis, the most severe form of this condition, is typically a complication of untreated acute pancreatitis.)
• Severe hypoglycemia , dangerously low blood sugar that causes seizures, fainting, headache and/or faster heartbeats.

Without treatment, all of these conditions can be fatal.

Diabetes patients most likely to develop a serious Byetta side effect include those:

• with a history of digestive, stomach and/or kidney disorders
• who drink alcohol
• who take insulin when not prescribed (or differently from doctor's instructions)
• who don't take Byetta medication as directed (especially if they overdose on Byetta)

Following a Byetta Death: Byetta Lawsuits

Families of deceased Byetta patients will be entitled to compensation for their loss by pursuing a personal injury lawsuit. To start a Byetta lawsuit, prospective plaintiffs should meet with an experienced Byetta lawyer for a free initial consultation.

In addition to evaluating an individual's legal claims, Byetta lawyers can also provide expert advice about whether an injured party would be best suited for an individual lawsuit or a class-action case.

To encourage families to stand up for their legal rights, Byetta attorneys will delay payment for legal services until or unless the case is won. This means that plaintiffs won't have to pay a dime until they get their settlement.

Depending on the nature and severity of a plaintiff's claim, settlement amounts can include compensation for:

• funeral and burial costs, if families of deceased Byetta patients are pursuing a case
• past hospital and doctors' bills
• emotional pain and suffering
