NewbieCanuckFan Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Interesting....paying what? around 100,000 (I have no idea how much that thing costs) to be basically a beta tester when one can only spend hundreds of dollars on a Boeing 737Max plane ride.

Gurn Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/ozempic-and-wegovy-linked-with-higher-risk-of-rare-blinding-eye-condition-in-new-harvard-study/ar-BB1plV4k?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=1ce597a97e434a30a65316ce41a671f6&ei=12 ' Users of Ozempic and related trendy weight-loss drugs may be more likely to develop a rare form of blindness, researchers are reporting. The study found that a prescription for Ozempic and other drugs containing the active compound, semaglutide, was associated with an increased risk of NAION, or nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. It’s a mouthful, but relatively rare, affecting two to 10 in every 100,000 people per year. The blinding eye condition causes sudden and painless but permanent loss of vision in one eye due to insufficient blood flow and oxygen to the optic nerve. It’s sometimes referred to as an “eye stroke” and is a significant cause of blindness among adults. Researchers at Mass Eye and Ear in Boston, Massachusetts, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital, became motivated late last summer to look at whether today’s highly sought-after weight-loss drugs might be associated with an increased risk of NAION, after three patients, all taking semaglutide, were diagnosed with the condition within the same week. Their study, published today in JAMA Opthalmology, found people prescribed semagultide for obesity were seven times more likely to get a diagnosis of NAION than people prescribed different drugs for being overweight. People prescribed semaglutide for type 2 diabetes were four times more likely to get the rare eye diagnosis. ---------------------------- much more at link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
