Question

I have been on Byetta for about four months now and my readings have been so so. However, I find that I am losing my hair and getting bald, and I am very upset about this. Does anyone else complain about this?

Answer

Hair loss / alopecia isn't mentioned in the Byetta label. I'd suggest you discuss your problem with your physician, and if no other cause is found, someone should report the event to the manufacturer.

You might post your comment at the Byetta Discussion Forum at Diabetes.Blog.com if you haven't already done so.
