Byetta - Dosing and Cost

The Byetta pen, like Bydureon, contains the active ingredient exenatide. The active ingredient in Byetta prescription medication belongs to a class of medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists - similar to dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza), lixisenatide (Adlyxin), and semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy). Interestingly, Byetta was developed based on chemicals found in the venom of a lizard called the Gila monster. Byetta is sometimes prescribed to be administered subcutaneously within 60 minutes prior to morning and evening meals but the exact regimen depends on the patient and the judgement of the medical provider. Use of a Byetta injection is typically initiated at 5 mcg per dose twice per day. The Byetta pen is typically available as a 5 mcg / dose (1.2 mL pen) and 10 mcg per dose (2.4 mL pen). Byetta injections are expensive, costing approximately $800 per Byetta 10 mcg pen at many pharmacies in the United States.
