Byetta® Attorney
(800) 889-3898
Byetta® lawyers are personal injury attorneys who seek specialize in recovering compensation for those who believe they have been injured after taking Byetta® (exenatide), an injectable type-2 diabetes medication.
Although Byetta® can be effective at helping type-2 diabetics control their blood sugar levels, it may be linked to side effects, including:
• acute pancreatitis
• chronic pancreatitis
• hemorrhagic pancreatitis
• hypoglycemia
• necrotizing pancreatitis
People who feel they have been injured should:
• Discuss their complete medical history with their doctors before starting a course of Byetta® medication.
• Be aware of the types and symptoms of Byetta® side effects.
• Seek immediate medical care, should they develop symptoms.
• Meet with a Byetta® attorney for patients, once their health is stable, to learn more about their legal rights.
Byetta® Warnings and Recalls
As reports of severe Byetta® side effects began surfacing, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued two national Byetta® warnings, one in October 2007 and another in August 2008.
With these Byetta® alerts, the FDA:
• Made the public aware of the possibility of developing potentially fatal health complications after taking Byetta® medication
• Mandated that Amylin Pharmaceutical and Eli Lily (the makers of Byetta®) include stricter warning labels on Byetta® packaging.
Working with a Byetta® Lawyer, Lawsuits for Possible Byetta® Injuries
Those who have been injured after taking Byetta® medication should set up an initial consultation with a Byetta® lawyer for patients.
During this meeting, prospective plaintiffs can:
• Learn more about their legal rights
• Discover whether they have a case against Amylin Pharmaceutical and Eli Lily
• Find out more about settlements in Byetta® lawsuits similar to their own
• Determine whether they want to file an individual Byetta® lawsuit or join an already-progressing class action case
Experienced Byetta® lawyers typically offer these initial consultations for free and will delay payment for their services until a settlement is won.
Depending on the extent and severity of the injury, plaintiffs can seek compensation for:
• emotional suffering
• funeral and burial costs (should a Byetta® death occur)
• long-term treatment needs
• lost ability to earn a living
• lost income
• past medical bills
• permanent disability
