What is Bydureon?
Bydureon is an extended-release formulation of exenatide that allows once-weekly dosing instead of twice-daily (Byetta). Available as Bydureon BCise in a single-dose autoinjector, it delivers a 2mg dose of exenatide weekly.
While newer weekly GLP-1s like Ozempic and Trulicity are more commonly prescribed, Bydureon remains an effective option for type 2 diabetes. It can cause injection site nodules due to the extended-release microspheres.
FAQ
How is Bydureon different from Ozempic?
Both are weekly GLP-1 injections. Ozempic (semaglutide) typically produces more weight loss than Bydureon (exenatide). Ozempic is also newer with fewer injection site reactions.
Can I switch from Bydureon to another GLP-1?
Many doctors switch patients to newer weekly GLP-1s. Shotlee tracks any GLP-1 medication to help you monitor your transition.
