Byetta is a type 2 diabetes drug marketed by Amylin Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Eli Lily & Co. First approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2005 to help reduce blood sugar levels, the drug has now been taken by more than 7 million patients. Byetta lowers blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic cells.
In October 2007, the FDA issued an alert about an association between Byetta and pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas). In August 2008, a second FDA alert was issued to inform healthcare providers about additional cases of necrotizing pancreatitis or hemorrhagic pancreatitis that had been reported among Byetta users. Hemorrhagic pancreatitis is a severe form of the condition where erosion of blood vessels can lead to severe bleeding. Necrotizing pancreatitis involves tissue damage, which may cause multi-organ failure and death.
Side effects of Byetta have also been linked to reports of altered kidney function and kidney failure. According to a warning issued by the FDA in November 2009, at least 78 patients have reported kidney problems with Byetta use. This is a serious and potentially life-threatening issue, as altered kidney function can lead to a build-up of waste products in the blood and potentially result in serious injury or death.
