Medical Description
Byetta Penfill injection is used with diet and physical activity to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It contains exenatide, a medicine that helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar rises, reduces signals that raise blood sugar, slows the movement of food through the stomach and may reduce appetite. These actions help control blood sugar after meals and across the day, while weight management may improve for some people. Byetta injection is given under the skin with a pen device after a doctor or nurse has taught you or your caregiver the technique. It is not a replacement for insulin when insulin treatment is needed.
