Fwd: [Diabetes_And_Byetta] Re: injection site rash
Alyne,
The same thing happened to me. My doctor prescribed a cream for me to
put on the rash. It did help. It took a long time for the bumps and
redness to go away, but it stopped the itching right away. I worked
my way through it, as I did not want to come off the byetta. Also,
after awhile It would just happen once in a while or else I would just
get a little red mark where I injected. I went down to the 5 pen and
really have had no problem what so ever.
I know someone told me that it could be the mannitol. You could be
allergic to it too. When this happened, I called my doctor, I do not
believe he believed me, When I got to his office and he saw where the
rashes were he knew it was from byetta. He said it I was 1 in 200. I
said why can’t I have those odds and win the lottery….
The cream is called: mometasone furoate cream usp, 0.1% Hope it helps.
Dale
