Seizure of Byetta at Airports

We have had patients have their Byetta seized today when passing through the inspection areas when entering Europe. Remember to have it have some pharmaceutical packaging that you can display.

That did not work for one person so the next thing to try is to offer to give yourself an injection while you give your speech on what it does for you. Then offer to give them an injection. On second thought, don’t do that.

If all is lost, although Byetta is not available in Europe its major action is to create efficiency of your insulin whether you are a type 2 or 1. You will probably lose some of the efficiency so you will need more of your usual medication.

Remember that the omission of the Byetta is not life threatening it is only a short term inconvenience.
