The Bydureon pen was discontinued in March 2021 and has been replaced by Bydureon Bcise Autoinjector. The Bydureon BCise autoinjector is easy to use and can be self-injected at home once a week. If you have trouble injecting it yourself, you could ask a family member, friend, caregiver, or your health provider to do it for you. Bydureon BCise is injected subcutaneously (this means just under the skin) and there are 3 main areas where it can be injected: The stomach area (your belly) except for a 2-inch circle around your navel (belly button) The top and outer part of your thighs, but not your inner thighs or anywhere close to your knee The outer back of your upper arm where there is a pocket of fatty tissue (this is usually easier if somebody else is giving you the injection).
