Question

If I have gastrointestinal problems, should I use Byetta?

Answer

The Byetta label states:

BYETTA has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including gastroparesis. Its use is commonly associated with gastrointestinal adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Therefore, the use of BYETTA is not recommended in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease.

So, I think it would be up to your physician and yourself whether to try using it.
