For all those who have been harmed from taking a drug which was not well-tested or simply turned out to be dangerous, their only recourse may be to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the drug in order to obtain compensation for their injuries. Byetta is one such drug; research has shown that Byetta may bring potential risks of serious illness among those taking the drug. Byetta was developed to treat Type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise by controlling blood sugar in the body when it becomes too high.

Byetta is a drug used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, administered twice daily in the form of an injection. The drug is taken within one hour prior to eating breakfast and dinner; while marketed vigorously as a drug which can improve blood sugar levels as soon as day one as well as a “chance to lose some weight,” potential Byetta dangers have since come to light. Several studies show a link between Byetta use and thyroid cancer, pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
