She had gastrointestinal disturbances, since the first day of the injection. From the eighth day she developed signs of acute pancreatitis which was confirmed with CT-Scan and biochemical investigations. Byetta was withdrawn, the patient was treated for acute pancreatitis and the symptoms subsided.
