Byetta

The US FDA has approved BYETTA™ injection as adjunctive therapy to improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. BYETTA (pronounced bye-A-tuh), the trade name for exenatide, is the first in a new class of medicines known as incretin mimetics. BYETTA has been available to pharmacies since June 1, 2005. BYETTA is made from protiens found in the gilamonster's saliva. Byetta improves blood sugar control by lowering both postmeal and fasting glucose levels leading to better long-term control as measured by hemoglobin. BYETTA does this through several actions, including the stimulation of insulin secretion only when blood sugar is high and by restoring the first- phase insulin response, an activity of the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas that is lost in patients who have type 2 diabetes. Most patients in the long-term BYETTA clinical studies also experienced reductions in weight.
