Diabetes Drug Byetta Linked To 2 Deaths
According to the FDA, two people have already died after taking the diabetes drug, Byetta marketed by San Diego based Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Eli Lily & Co.
The FDA confirms that earlier warnings were given about the dangers of Byetta and what is even more disturbing is that FDA has received six new reports of patients developing a dangerous form of pancreatitis while taking Byetta.
FDA's most recent report builds on their October 2007report that some 30 patients developed pancreatitis, abdominal pain and nausea after taking Byetta. In all, in excess of 700,000 patients globally have been administered the injectable drug since it hit the market in early summer 2005.
If you or a loved one has been adversely affected by Byetta or any other defective drug, which is supposed to help, not hurt you and you need information or assistance, I would invite you to visit my website, www.samlevine.com or contact my office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law.
