Exenatide for once-weekly administration
Abstract
▾Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist used in the management of people with type 2 diabetes. A twice-daily injectable formulation (▾Byetta - Eli Lilly) was licensed in 2006. ▾Bydureon (Eli Lilly) is a prolonged-release injectable formulation that allows once-weekly administration. Here we discuss the place of Bydureon in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
