For anyone on Bydureon, please check the batch number and return to pharmacy if affected:

Batch number C164827

Expiry date 31 August 2015

Pack size 4 x 1 single-dose kit (1 vial + 1 syringe)

First distributed 12 July 2013

Bristol-Myers Squibb and Astra Zeneca, who, following a recent change of ownership, are now Marketing Authorisation holders for the Bydureon (Exenatide) product licence range, are recalling the above batch of Bydureon to pharmacy, clinic and wholesaler level, following an in-depth review of manufacturing records which indicated that this batch may contain a very small number of under filled vials. The low fills impact approximately 0.2% of the batch and range between 30% and 75% of the labeled dose.
