Thousands of lawsuits have been filed against major GLP-1 makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk with patients accusing the popular weight-loss drugs of causing permanent eye damage and vision loss, including NAION and gastrointestinal injury.

In one case, a 63-year-old man was prescribed Ozempic to manage his diabetes in 2023 and woke up four months later with loss of vision in one eye. Without knowing the cause of his vision loss, he continued to take the medication and lost sight in his other eye in 2024. He is now legally blind.

Lawsuits against GLP-1 makers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk allege Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and other drugs caused NAION and vision loss.

oh my god

It'll be interesting how that unravels, it's either the medication actually causing harm, or people using it stopped taking their daily necessary nutrients, or it's not being as efficient when it comes to handling the side effects of diabetes anymore.

Time to close the mouth and hit the gym, fatties

people didn't want to wait until we knew every side effect

Hmm not sure I'm buying that, apparently people with diabetes over 50 are more likely to experience vision loss anyway, regardless of their medication. I guess we'll see how things develop

We are in the danger zone now

How they gonna be big if they can't even see their food. You lose most of your taste if you can't see the food.

Just be chubby and happy and eat a burger and see.

Not wegovy so Idgaf

Correlation =\= causation. We will see how this gets investigated

People with diabetes have the risk of vision loss

This headline seems irresponsible and they have to make a very deep investigation and a lot of deep research before claiming so

The lawsuits said the drugmakers should have known about and informed patients of the potential for this side effect, which is not included on the warning labels for the medications in the United States. It is, however, included on some updated labels in other countries.
