Byetta, produced by Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly, is an injectable medication for type 2-diabetes. While Byetta can be effective for some type 2-diabetes patients, for others, this medication can cause a range of mild to severe side effects, including pancreatitis and death.

To date, two patients have died after using Byetta.

To reduce your risk of developing Byetta side effects, discuss your full medical history with your doctor before using this medication. Similarly, it's crucial that you take time to thoroughly understand all Byetta warnings, as knowing potential health complications (and their symptoms) can help you identify and treat Byetta side effects, should they arise.

Byetta Side Effects

A person's health, age and medical history will all play a role in whether (s)he develops Byetta side effects. The range of health problems associated with Byetta use includes:

• headache
• heartburn and/or upset stomach
• hyperglycemia (dangerously high blood sugar)
• hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar)
• loss of appetite
• pancreatitis (a swelling of the pancreas gland that can result in bleeding, tissue death and fatal infection)
• severe allergic reactions
• severe diarrhea and dehydration
• sweating
• vomiting
• weight loss

Given this vast range of possible Byetta side effects, in August 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated that Amylin and Eli Lilly include stricter, more prominent warnings on Byetta's packaging.

Byetta Warnings of Medical History

Be sure to tell your doctor if you have a history of:

• any allergies
• digestive tract disorders (including diabetic gastroparesis, a slower digestive process resulting from diabetes)
• ketoacidosis (a severe blood condition that results from uncontrolled diabetes)
• kidney problems
• renal (kidney) failure

Any of these conditions can increase your risk of developing Byetta complications.

Other Byetta Warnings

In addition to the known side effects associated with Byetta use, here are some other important Byetta warnings patients should know before using this medication:

• Avoid taking Byetta if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or planning on getting pregnant, as the effects of this medication on fetuses and newborns are currently unknown.
  
• Byetta is NOT a form of insulin and, therefore, should not be used to treat type 1-diabetes.
  
• Stop using Byetta if you start developing skin rashes, facial swelling or other signs of allergic reaction.
  
• The risk of hypoglycemia is significantly increased for those taking Byetta with the following medications: Diabinese, Amaryl, Glucotrol, DiaBeta, Orinase and Glucoovance.
