Bydureon (exenatide extended-release) is an injectable medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a long-acting form of exenatide, a drug that belongs to a class of drugs called incretin mimetics.
These drugs work by increasing the level of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is secreted by the intestine in response to food. GLP-1 helps control blood sugar by making the pancreas make more insulin and stopping the liver from making as much glucose.
Bydureon is injected once every 7 days, which means it’s injectable once a week under the skin.
Bydureon works by increasing the amount of time that GLP-1, a hormone that helps the body to release glucose from storage, is active in the body.
GLP-1 is a hormone that is released after eating. It helps to keep blood sugar levels low by stimulating the release of insulin and slowing the rate of sugar release from the liver. It also increases the feeling of fullness after eating, which can help to reduce the amount of food consumed. This helps to keep blood sugar levels from going too high after meals.
Bydureon BCise lowers the amount of sugar in the blood in other ways. For instance, it slows the rate at which food is expelled from your stomach. This way, your body will take in glucose from food at a slower rate, which will help keep your blood sugar levels from getting dangerously high.
The medication begins to work soon after it is injected and can help lower blood sugar levels within a few hours. However, the medicine might not start working for you until about ten weeks after your first injection. After this, a weekly dose of Bydureon BCise present in your body will continually manage your blood sugar levels.
You may also know the medication is taking effect by observing some mild side effects, such as:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Constipation
Bumps at the injection site
Headaches
Blurred vision
Injection site itching
These mild side effects usually disappear within a couple of weeks. But if they become serious, it’s recommended to talk to our doctor.
In rare cases, Bydureon can cause serious side effects. These include:
Low platelet levels
Allergic reaction
Pancreatitis
Kidney problems
Low blood sugar levels
Thyroid cancer
Stop taking Bydureon and call our doctor right away if you have any serious side effects. If the side effects are only mild, you should keep getting your injection once a week to help control your blood sugar.
