[QUOTE="BlueTwist, post: 933570, member: 203355"] [COLOR=#000000]I've just commenced Bydureon this morning (previously used Victoza but had to cease due to side effects) I was shocked to see in the UK information leaflet there is no Black Box Warning about Thyroid Cancer / Tumours as there is for the USA. You only have to visit the official [/COLOR][URL='https://www.bydureon.com/'][COLOR=#000000][B][U]website[/U][/B][/COLOR][/URL][COLOR=#000000] to see quite clearly that it states: [/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#000000]POSSIBLE THYROID TUMORS, INCLUDING CANCER: Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer. In animal studies, BYDUREON and medicines that work like it caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. It is not known if BYDUREON will cause thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in people. Do not use BYDUREON if you or any of your family members have ever had MTC or if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
