Get Started:
Byetta prices can differ somewhat in accord with several factors. When an adult has type 2 diabetes and can no longer control his or her blood sugar levels with oral or other diabetes medications, a physician may suggest Byetta, a relatively new prescription drug — exenatide — that can be self-administered with disposable pen-needles.
However, Byetta prices may be prohibitive for a patient. Oral diabetes medicines for controlling blood sugar (such as the following) may be more affordable:
A pharmacist or healthcare provider in the patient's community can provide more information about the prices of all treatment medications for type 2 diabetes.
Byetta (exenatide) prices vary by:
The exenatide in each Byetta pen is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) in the, abdomen, thigh or upper arm, within 60 minutes before the morning meal and again within 60 minutes before the evening meal.
Thus, if a person with diabetes obtains Byetta online, he or she will probably buy several months' supply at one time. The average cost of a month's supply of Byetta online (60 shots — twice daily injections) is $200 to $220. Insurance plans may require just a $50 to $100 co-payment by the patient. The needles, purchased separately, will add to the cost. Shipping for the Byetta is another cost.
In addition Byetta is usually one part of a combination treatment for type 2 diabetes. The other medications (e.g., chlorpropamide, glipizide, metformin, glyburide) will add to the total cost.
Byetta is not the most affordable type 2 diabetes treatment, but an individual whose diabetes is not controlled by other, less-expensive medications may not have much choice.
There are other, less obvious potential costs of Byetta. Many Byetta users have suffered significant adverse medical events, and some have died from complications of Byetta use such as acute pancreatitis.
