[NP-Clinical] Byetta for weight loss

[April Anthony]

Actually one of the MD's in our clinic is using it in nondiabetics off label for weight loss, and is having good results with weight loss- no hypoglycemia (up to 30# wt loss in a couple). I am like you, I'm afraid to do it myself, but since the MD here is having such good results, I thought I'd ask if anyone else was trying it.
Thanks,
  April Anthony

drug before I put my license on the line. IMHO, we don't get paid enough
to take those kinds of risks. Will be curious if anyone out there is
willing to do this yet.

Are any of you using Byetta for off label weight loss in non diabetics. We
have one provider who is and is having good results. Of course insurance
doesn't pay and the patient must sign a waver. Just interested if anyone
else is trying this?
