What are Byetta Prefilled Pens?
Byetta PFP's contain the active ingredient Exenatide. This is a treatment for type 2 diabetes used with proper diet and exercise to treat high blood sugar levels.
How does Exenatide work as a treatment for Type 2 Diabetes?
Exenatide works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas, reducing the action of glucagon and slowing the absorption of glucose from the gut. This then lowers blood sugar levels and reduces appetite.
