Byetta and Januvia Pancreatic Cancer

Patients with Type 2 diabetes may be prescribed Byetta (exenatide) or Januvia (sitagliptin) to help improve their blood sugar levels in combination with diet and exercise. While both of these popular diabetes drugs work in different ways to achieve their intended results, they share a common link to serious pancreatic problems in certain patients, such as pancreatic cancer.

At Ferrer Poirot Feller Daniel, we are currently reviewing cases of pancreatic cancer linked to Byetta and Januvia. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer after taking either of these Type 2 diabetes drugs, you may be entitled to compensation.

Byetta and Januvia May Increase Pancreatic Cancer Risk

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a drug safety communication stating that they intend to evaluate potential links between pancreatic cancer and drugs like Byetta and Januvia.

Prior to this communication, the FDA warned of a link between Byetta and Januvia and potentially fatal cases of pancreatitis, and the agency has cited that both of these drugs may double the risk of acute pancreatitis. While the drug warning labels for Byetta and Januvia contain warnings about pancreatitis, they fail to warn patients of potential pancreatic cancer risks.
