Once a Week Byetta

Once-weekly byetta.- Diabetes Care, 2007 June; 30(6): 1487-93

This is the first publication on the new Byetta product given weekly. It was approved by the FDA in early December but will not be released for use in the USA until the summer of 2009.

Beta cell mass is expected to double from the treatment and the weight loss will triple as compared to the present twice a day treatment

Oral communication on the product during the ADA meeting in early February 2008 also added more information that generally a 60 to 70% drop in nausea is expected as well.
