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
