[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 94419, member: 1338"] [b]Re: Byetta with Insulin[/b] Hi Milly, I'm afraid you have been alarmed unnecessarily about pancreatitis. Last year there was an article in a US paper claiming that people who take Byetta have been dying from pancreatitis. The US drugs authorities, instead of checking whether there was any truth in the story, immediately instructed the manufacturers to publish a warning that Byetta can cause pancreatitis. When the FDA finally investigated the situation they found that patients who take Byetta are actually TEN TIMES LESS LIKELY to suffer from pancreatitis than people who don't take Byetta!! Unfortunately when stories like this newspaper report become known, they tend to stick, regardless of whether or not they may be true. I find it interesting that this US news item was published shortly before a rival manufacturer announced that they would soon be marketing a rival to Byetta. It does make you wonder just who it was who paid the journalist to fabricate a lie about Byetta just at that particular point in time! So, whilst your doctor's advice to seek help if you suffer from unexpected stomach pains is very sensible, the chances that the pains would be pancreatitis are a great deal less than they would have been if you weren't on Byetta.
