Hi,
Thanks for the question.
Yes you can stop taking bydureon for a while but an additional oral hypoglycemic drug will have to be added in place of bydureon otherwise your sugar level will certainly go up.
So,I suggest check with your treating physician for a replacement or you can also get back to me and I'll certainly be able to help you.
I hope my answer helps you.
Please feel free to ask another question.
Thanks,

Hi,
I can understand your concern regarding bydureon.
Yes,you can stop taking bydureon for a certain period of time but bydureon will have to be replaced with some other oral diabetes medicine as your blood sugar will certainly go up.
Please talk to your treating physician and start another suitable oral hypoglycemic drug in place of bydureon.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks,
Dr.Prabhas Verma
