IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BYETTA PEN 

•   Each  BYETTA  Pen  contains  enough  medicine  for  injection  two  times  each  day  for  30  days.  You  do  not  have  to 

measure any doses, the pen measures each dose for you.

•  

Do not transfer the medicine in the BYETTA Pen to a syringe or vial. 

•  

Do not

 mix BYETTA and insulin in the same syringe or vial even if you take them at the same time.

•   If any part of your pen appears broken or damaged, do not use the pen.
•   This BYETTA Pen is not recommended for use by people who are blind or have vision problems without the help of a 

person trained in the proper use of the pen.

•  

Follow the injection method explained to you by your healthcare provider. 

•   Follow Section 2 only to set up a new pen before first use.
•   Section 3 of this manual should be used for every injection.

ABOUT PEN NEEDLES 
What kinds of needles can be used with my BYETTA Pen? 

•  

Pen needles are not included with your pen. 

You may need a prescription to get them from your pharmacist.

•   Use 29 (thin), 30, or 31 (thinner) gauge disposable pen needles with your BYETTA Pen. Ask your healthcare provider 

which needle gauge and length is best for you.

Do I use a new needle for each injection? 

• 

Yes. Do not reuse or share your needles with other people. You may give other people a serious infection 

   or get a serious infection from them.

•   Remove the needle from the pen immediately after you complete each injection. This will help prevent leakage of 

BYETTA, keep out air bubbles, reduce needle clogs, and decrease the risk of infection.

•   Do not push the injection button on your pen unless a needle is attached to the pen.
