What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
“FDA concluded that there is a potential increased risk of rare NAION events in patients taking GLP-1 RAs.”
The “painless” eye condition, known as non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), can cause significant vision loss as a result of decreased blood flow to the optic nerve; the FDA said the underlying cause is unknown.
"GLP-1 medications offer important benefits for people with diabetes, obesity, and heart disease, so our message to patients is simple," the group said.
Common risk factors of NAION include diabetes, smoking, hypertension, as well as hypercholesterolemia.
