Byetta vs Bydureon

Byetta and Bydureon are the same molecule — exenatide. They are sold under separate FDA applications (NDA021773, NDA021919 and NDA022200, NDA209210), which is why they carry different approved indications, different labels and different supply records. On the regulatory record they are distinct products with an identical active ingredient.

Everything above is a field from Drugs@FDA, the FDA Drug Shortage Database, the EMA register or ClinicalTrials.gov. There is no efficacy comparison here and there will not be one: head-to-head claims belong to the trials that made them, and which drug suits a particular person is a question for a clinician.
