UPDATE - The study discussed in this video has received many criticisms and has been since redacted. We will be monitoring for further publications on the subject.
Ozempic, a popular medication for weight loss and diabetes may have alarming side effects on eye health. Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, has been linked to an increased risk of stroke within the eye, raising significant concerns for those taking this medication.
Dr. Allen reviews the study findings, explains the symptoms of NAION (Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy), and discusses what you should know if you're taking or considering Ozempic.
Can Ozempic blind you? Find out in this video!
