BYETTA (exenatide synthetic) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist administered via subcutaneous injection for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The drug improves glycemic control by reducing both fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations. BYETTA represents an important therapeutic option in the incretin-based therapy class for type 2 diabetes management.
