Exenatide
Uses
Byetta is used in the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus.
How it Works
Byetta works by increasing the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas which then reduces the level of sugar in the blood. Byetta also reduces the amount of glucagon being produced by the pancreas. Glucagon causes your liver to produce more sugar, so by reducing the amount of glucagon in your body using Byetta, this also helps to reduce the levels of sugar in your blood. Byetta also works in the stomach so that food passes more slowly through it, this means that the sugar from meals takes longer to get into the blood.
