User Reviews for Bydureon BCise subcutaneous

Trulicity has been on back order so my insurance company suggested this as a replacement. Not only did the medication squirt all over when taking the cover off, but after one day, my ankles swelled up like tree stumps and were like that for 11 days. I would not give myself a second shot. This is a horrible drug.

I have renamed this drug "suicide drug" I have never felt, so sick or depressed in my 60+ years of life. I am now on a different drug and feel great.

1st shot itched a little,needle mark faded in 3 weeks. Shot hurt even with lidocaine. 2nd shot I iced area for 15 min. Laid a large metal washer on my leg and gave injection through the hole so needle did not go so deep into leg. No pain at all, site itched some but I put heat on it at night. Have had diarrhea but could be from other meds.. so far so good.

The injecter is terrible.screw the cap off and it skirts out at you and have had it come out of the skin too.Have lost three injections .

Even though I follow the directions carefully, and have learned to leave the needle in for at least two minutes (much longer than directed) after the medicine has completed injection, it still occasionally squirts back out everywhere. This is an expensive product failure. Never had trouble with the previous Bydureon injection system, and am strongly condidering looking at alternatives.

The injector does not work properly. 2 of the last 3 times I used the pen it did not inject the medication and sprayed it out after I pulled the pen away from my body. That is 2 pens wasted at an out of the pocket cost of over $100.00.

It actually works well. I am less hungry and eat smaller portions and less carbs in them. Blood glucose down. 30 pts average . I had no difficulty with the pen if i follow instructions though its a bit complicated. It never leaks on me because i don't hold it upside down as it clearly says not to. HOWEVER. I get massive lumps at every injection site. From half inch to 4 inches. They have not gone away. The first injection site was 8 weeks ago and it still has a huge lump. At least a half inch diameter probably 1 inch. I will probably come off it before i have no clear places left to inject. Which is a shame because it has actually worked very well with no other side effects. And i am 60 cant get to that choice on the drop down menu Read More Read Less

I've wasted 3 pins trying to unscrew the cap after unlocking and mixing. As soon as i try to remove the cap the pin spring ejects the contents. very bad design.

I have been using for 6 months now. I have not had any problems with the pens (thank goodness) My only issues was getting thru all of the horrible side effects until my body became use to it. You do have to watch what you eat. If you over indulge you will end up feeling very sick. My A1C went from 9.4 to 7.2 in 90 days.

I took this drug for three months and it worked great, A1C lowered to 6.6 and I found it easy to use. Once shaken, you could see it going in, so no problem with injection. the fourth month I developed severe gas and bloating, quickly followed by nausea, vomiting and diarhhea. A miserable three days! So it ended worse than my Trulicity trial!

8 weeks with no effective results.

It takes a few weeks before the medication gets to a "steady state" in your system, but in my case it works well. The injector is easy to use and painless. I get bumps at the injection sights that go away after a few weeks, but I guess this is a coomon side effect. No pain or discoloring, just a bump.

The injector is GARBAGE.It will(most of the times) squirt out when you remove the cap. It can fail to penetrate the skin.I cant believe they tested this injector before releasing it. I've used other medication (like trulicity) medication didn't work for me,but injection was decent) but on this one I can't say if medication works or not because the delivery method is so bad is behind terrible.

The injector is garbage. It can squirt out when you remove the cap. It can fail to penetrate the skin because of the shroud around the needle. If you can get it injected, it seems to work. I cant believe they tested this injector before releasing it.
