( dall Executive Director MedicalAffai...)Byetta Treatment for Three and a Half Years Associated with,Reductions in Cardiovascular Risk Factors in People with Type 2,Diabetes,Health

dall, Executive Director, Medical Affairs, Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "These studies document that BYETTA may have additional and important effects on cardiovascular disease risk factors providing interesting areas for further study, including additional metabolic advantages of weight loss in people with diabetes."

BYETTA was generally well-tolerated in this study, and the side effects were consistent with those seen in previous studies. In clinical trials and post-approval adverse event reports, the most common side effect is mild-to- moderate nausea, which affects fewer than half of patients and usually decreases over time.

BYETTA is indicated for use as an adjunctive therapy for people with type 2 diabetes who are not achieving blood sugar control using metformin, a sulfonylurea, or a thiazolidinedione. Over three million prescriptions have been written in the U.S. since being approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2005. For more information, visit www.BYETTA.com.

About BYETTA(R) (exenatide) injection

BYETTA is the first in a class of drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes called incretin mimetics. BYETTA exhibits many of the same effects as the human incretin hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 improves blood sugar after food intake through multiple effects that work in concert on the stomach, liver, pancreas and brain. BYETTA is approved by the FDA for use by people with type 2 diabetes who are unsuccessful at controlling their blood sugar levels. BYETTA is an add-on therapy for people currently using metformin, a sulfonylurea, or a thiazolidinedione. BYETTA provides sustained A1C control, low incidence of hypoglycemia when used with metformin or a thiazolidinedione, and progressive weight loss.
