Byetta pancreatic cancer
Diabetes has become a worldwide epidemic which seems to be spreading despite increasing awareness and improved lifestyles. Naturally extensive research is also underway to combat the various kinds of diabetes and contain further worsening of this extremely debilitating condition. The most common form of diabetes is Type 2 which can be treated without insulin injections. Various advanced forms of medications like Byetta and Januvia have now emerged in the market which can effectively contain the condition.
Unfortunately, the excitement surrounding these medications soon turned into distress. Preliminary studies show that side effects from these can be considerable. Diabetics may have better control over their glucose levels but they now stand to face increasing risk of pancreatitis which can worsen to pancreatic cancer. Commonly referred to as Byetta pancreatic cancer this can lead to severe health issues and can even turn fatal for some.
How might Byetta pancreatic cancer develop?
Continued use of diabetes drugs like Byetta adversely affects the GLP-1 metabolic pathway which is located in the duct of the pancreas. Disruption in the natural workings of the pathway results in pancreatic inflammation and possibly higher levels of toxins in the system. These are at first manifested as acute pancreatitis which can progress to severe forms of hemorrhagic and necrotizing pancreatitis and then turn develop into what might be described as Byetta pancreatic cancer. A study conducted in the University of California in 2011 show those patients using Byetta regularly three times more risk of pancreatic cancer than others since it cause abnormalities the duct of the pancreas in where most pancreatic cancer originates.
The FDA has already issued multiple healthcare provider alerts starting in 2007 and the past few years has seen increasing number of lawsuits filed against the makers of Byetta, Amylin Phamaceuticals. Early detection of the cancer can aid in successful treatment and cure but unfortunately in more than 80% of the patients the cancer already spreads too far before it can be diagnosed. Pancreatic cancer cannot be removed completely with surgery and cure become next to impossible. The average survival time is a year to a maximum of five once the pancreatic cancer is diagnosed.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with this form of cancer then know this – you have every right to fight against the heinous crime committed against you and demand substantial reparations. You were administered this drug to help you fight a serious debilitating condition but what you now have is a life-threatening situation which can very well end in a fatal result for you. Pharmaceutical liability lawyers who have been investigating and filing lawsuits on behalf of Byetta users have claimed that the manufacturers knew about these risks and yet did not take enough steps to warn their users.

You need to be cautious and proceed with the help of experienced lawyers who have ample knowledge and experience of pancreatic cancer lawsuits.
