What is Byetta?

Byetta is an injectable prescription medication given to adults with type 2 diabetes. It can help to lower blood glucose levels when taken alongside exercise and dietary changes. You take Byetta by injecting it under your skin (subcutaneous injection) using a pre-filled, self-injecting pen, usually twice a day before your two main meals.

Byetta works by encouraging your pancreas to produce more insulin and reducing how much glucose your liver secretes into your blood. Byetta does this while you are digesting food, helping to stop your blood glucose from rising too high when you most need it. Byetta becomes less active when you stop digesting and your blood glucose falls, helping to stop your blood sugar from falling too low (hypoglycemia).

Byetta active ingredients

The active ingredient in Byetta is called exenatide. It is a type of drug called an incretin mimetic that mimics digestive hormones, called incretins, that your body releases when you digest food. Exenatide works by having the same effects on your body as incretin digestive hormones. When you are digesting food and glucose is released into your blood, exenatide encourages:

  1. Your pancreas to produce more insulin.
  2. Your pancreas to produce less of a hormone called glucagon that makes your liver release stored glucose into your blood.
  3. Food to move more slowly through your digestive system, causing glucose to be released from your food slower.

These three effects can cause your blood glucose levels to fall as you are digesting food. Exenatide stops being as active when you are not digesting food, however, which can help stop your blood glucose levels from falling too low.

There is also evidence that exenatide can reduce your appetite, helping you lose weight gradually as you use it, and that it can lower your cholesterol levels over time too. This can also help treat your type 2 diabetes.

Byetta side effects & Byetta drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Byetta include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea (feeling sick)
  • Vomiting (being sick)
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Indigestion
  • Feeling weak
  • Feeling jittery

In rare instances, Byetta can cause more serious side effects, like:

  • Inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis) that can be fatal
  • Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause anaphylaxis
  • Very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), particularly if you take Byetta alongside other medications that can lower your blood glucose, like insulin or sulfonylurea medicines
  • New or worsening kidney problems, including kidney failure
  • Severe stomach problems
  • Low blood platelet counts that can interfere with blood clotting (drug-induced thrombocytopenia)

Byetta can interact with other medications, which can change how Byetta and the other medications work and can make some side effects more likely. Tell your prescribing doctor about all drugs you are taking, particularly:

  • The diabetes medication Bydureon that also contains exenatide
  • Any other diabetes medications, including insulin or sulfonylurea medicines
  • Any antibiotics
  • Any diuretics (also called water pills), usually taken to reduce your blood pressure
  • Any other blood pressure medications
  • Any medications taken to treat pain
  • Any medications containing liraglutide or another glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 receptor agonist)
  • Birth control pills that are taken orally (Byetta can stop them working as effectively)
  • Any medications containing warfarin, used to reduce your risk of blood clots
  • Any medications containing lovastatin, a statin medication taken to treat high blood cholesterol
