About Exenatide
Exenatide was the first GLP-1 receptor agonist to receive FDA approval (2005). It's derived from a compound found in the saliva of the Gila monster lizard, which led to the discovery of GLP-1 medications.
Available as Byetta (twice-daily, 5-10mcg) or Bydureon (weekly extended-release, 2mg). While newer GLP-1s like semaglutide and tirzepatide are more commonly prescribed today, exenatide remains an effective option for blood sugar management.

How does exenatide compare to newer GLP-1s?
Newer GLP-1s like semaglutide typically produce more weight loss with less frequent dosing. However, exenatide is well-established with decades of safety data.
