00:00Could a popular weight-loss drug be putting your eyesight at risk?
00:03Here's what you need to know about Ozempic.
00:05Millions of people worldwide rely on Ozempic,
00:09a game-changing weight-loss drug praised for tackling obesity and diabetes.
00:14But a new study in Havard Medical School reveals a worrying connection.
00:18Ozempic may increase the risk of vision loss.
00:21Researchers found users of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic,
00:26had a higher rate of a rare condition called NEON.
00:29This condition occurs when blood flow to the optic nerve is reduced,
00:33potentially leading to sight loss.
00:35In Norway, cases were nearly three times higher compared to other medications.
00:40Health experts warn these are not cosmetic drugs for Instagram photos.
00:44While the risks are low, the findings raise serious concerns about Ozempic's safety,
00:49especially for diabetic patients, one of the key target groups.
00:53Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic, stresses the drug is safe when used under medical supervision.
00:59But this study is a wake-up call.
01:01Weight-loss drugs are powerful medications, not quick fixes.
01:05Do you think the benefits of Ozempic outweigh the risks?
