The recommended dosage is 2 mg injected under the skin once every seven days, with or without meals.




Before using

  • Consult with a doctor to determine if BYDUREON is the appropriate treatment for your type 2 diabetes.

  • Inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking, as drug interactions can occur.

  • Be aware of potential side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, and injection site reactions, and know when to seek medical attention for more serious reactions.

  • BYDUREON may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics and birth control pills. It's recommended to take these medications at least one hour before using BYDUREON.

  • If you are switching from immediate-release exenatide (Byetta) to BYDUREON, you may experience a temporary increase in blood sugar levels.

  • Do not use BYDUREON if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you have had a severe allergic reaction to exenatide.

  • Be aware of the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors associated with BYDUREON. Discuss this with your doctor and be vigilant for symptoms such as neck swelling or hoarse voice.

  • Stop using BYDUREON and seek medical attention immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, with or without vomiting, as this could be a symptom of pancreatitis.

  • Never share injection pens or needles with others, as this can transmit infections.
