- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- 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!

Have you heard of Ozempic before? Do you or someone you know take this medication?

There is a TH-camr called "Geek Out of Water" that takes one of these (I forgot which one, but it's the same ingredient). I just wrote a comment to warn her on her latest video. If she loses her eyesight she can't do reviews anymore. I hope she reads my comment. 😞
I’ve been thinking about Ozempic of late. Thank you for talking about this!
Yes, NAION in right eye, bottom half, prescribed Ozempic for high sugar-woke up in this condition
Thank u for this video.
I was on Semaglutide and had an eye stroke. It has been life altering. I beg anyone on it to strongly consider not taking it due to these horrible side effects!!!
OMG I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing though. How have you been getting along? Would you mind sharing if you woke up with the vision change or did it happen during the day?
@@DoctorEyeHealth It happened during the day with no warning signs at all.
I now have to limit my driving to short distances and no night driving. I also have to be alot more careful not to bump into things and possibly harm myself or heavens forbid harm someone else by mistake.
It also makes reading more difficult which is a huge bummer. That eye can not see words
@@sonyanthecity🙏🏻🙏🏻
This makes my heart break. One reason is that my sister is taking Wegovy and is having a hard time with it. Throwing up way too much. The other thing is I know what it like to be blind in one eye. I was born with congenital cataract in one eye. I lost my sight in that eye totally around age 10. But I have gotten through life just fine for the most part. I have always been able to drive. You still have more vision than I do, and I do not consider myself handicapped. But now that I am old I have had some eye issues and I find it scary that I don't have a backup eye. This is it and now I need cataract surgery soon. Do take care of your precious vision. Wear goggles when doing physical work, and get your eyes checked as your doctor advises. I have been seeing my ophthalmologist every 6 months for the last 50 years.
@@cellgrrl Bless you🙏🏻
I know someone who recently had an eye stroke, and is taking Ozempic. I'll be sharing your video. Thank you!
So sorry to hear that your friend had to experience that. Thanks for sharing
Did they have long standing pre-existing diabetes? Could have damaged the eye before.
@@Ultrajamz actually, yes for about 5 years.
@@Ultrajamz no..they didn't!!!!!!!
Yes I’ve had it at 50 I can’t drive any more I was talking ozempic for 2 years for type 2 diabetes
I know one patient of mine who's currently taking Ozempic. I will be sure to let her know of this.
For sure! I have several patients who are on it. (although some people have had trouble getting it in the first place)
"You won't see any body fat in the mirror after taking this."
So in a way it’s a success🤷🏾♀
They need to take this drug off the market.
All these diet drugs end up tragic. The last miracle suet drug PhenFen - anyone remember - attacked the heart‼️‼️‼️
So yourself a favor: intermittent fasting, OMAD, keto works 👍👍👍
Yes all my friends are on this! I do OmAD and keto and control portions and exercise. It’s called self discipline
Fasting, keto, omad etc works best long term. You’ll most likely have to take weight loss drugs for life.
this has so many risk that some never realized happens my friend takes it for diabetes scary to think what it can do to your eyes thanks for another great video
Agreed, the scary thing is that there are often no warning signs of an NAION coming on. It just happens.
Unfortunately elevated blood glucose is also extremely damaging to all capillaries, and you can see the effects in the eye.
This needs further study. NAION in diabetics is already a risk (actually there’s a long-standing debate around whether it’s a unique condition called diabetic papillitis). We also know that with aggressive reduction in blood glucose that patients are at higher risk of retinopathy, no matter the treatment (called early worsening of diabetic retinopathy). Studies should look at whether it is the aggressive reduction in blood glucose that is the real cause, or ozempic directly.
Agreed! It looks like most of the cases did occur within the first 12 months of the 3 year study.
Exactly what I was wondering!
Every weight loss drug seems to end up banned.
I noticed.
Remember PhenFen?
Some people are just too lazy to lose weight the right way. Notice l didn't say the easy way because it is hard. I lost 60 pounds the hard way, l should know. 😂
FASTING IS FREE and the only way to use your body fat as fuel... ozempic makes you puke, aka, not eat
@@cleopatrademers2395 except people who get prescribed weight loss drugs have to have already extensively tried losing weight other ways. Very nice and non-judgemental of you though.
Thank you for posting this video. I’ve been prescribed and taking Wegovy for two months. About 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with moderate/intermediate dry AMD. Last week, I was experiencing some eye issues…after seeing this video I’m contacting my eye doctor tomorrow…thanks again
Not sure if there has been studies about this but my mom , 55 yo, was prescribed Ozempic for her DM2 and it accelerated the growth of a PSC on her right eye in about a month. She had good vision , no issues , no glare, then 1 month after taking Ozempic she started noticing those effects of a PSC and BDCVA was 20/80. So yeah, this is a dangerous medication.
The sad thing is that your mom could have lost weight and controlled her diabetes by eating Keto or Carnivore. No drug side effect risk. However, keto and carnivore are lifestyles. If followers go back to carbs, the weight will come back, as well as the insulin issues.
Finally,
Thank you, three years ago when the hospital wanted to put me on GLP-1 inhibitors, they pushed to prescribe Ozempic. But having done my homework, I was aware of the ophthalmological risks and refused (nobody believes me), so I am on Trulicity which seems less problematic for my eyes, already severely affected by retinopathy (I have 0/10 on my right eye after 4 surgeries, multiple injections, and silicone for the past 10 years, and 5/10 on my left eye. Bad luck, my right eye is my dominant eye.
Thanks for all your videos
There have been reports of stomach paralysis as well.
Thanks again! You are so good with your videos!
Thanks for this info.
Great video, thank you
Hi And Thank You For Sharing This very Informative ..
My pleasure! Thank you for watching and sharing!
Thank you for sharing this information. My sister is taking this for Diabetes. I'll definitely be sharing this.
Thank you for sharing. I'm currently ozempic and diabetics with type 2. I haven't yet expected any problems with vision loss, but I'm going to see with both the eye doctor and primary doctor when regular check-ups soon.
Hope you are doing well!
Here again we hear about a percentage risk without saying if this is absolute or relative risk.
Risk percentage vs what, over what period of time.
If the normal rate is one in a billion and it increases to one in one hundred million (10x), how much worry should we have?
What is the risk of an obese diabetic in the first place?
Gotta know all the numbers.
i sure would like to hear greater detail on this and where exactly the blood flow is lacking, and can it happen elsewhere with different symptoms.
Who are these people, what were their inflammatory markers to begin with, could lowering inflammation be protective.
Could something as simple as an increase in vitamin d and Omega 3 ratio counter any risk?
What did the blood of the victims look like?
Were they malnourished after being on the drug for a long time or was there no time component?
Many questions.
Hey thanks for asking all these wonderful questions! I didn’t go too in depth into the statistics as I’ve learned when I do that, people tend to stop watching the videos. But perhaps I can do deeper dives, maybe post those in my channel membership section.
For diabetics on non- glp1 meds, the cumulative risk over 3 years is about 1.8%, and goes up to 8.9% when taking semaglutide.
not a HUGE amount of people in the study, but still significant for such an at risk population.
Good questions. The authors of the study did not do a randomized human trial but did some data mining. They admitted that there was no evidence of a cause and effect relationship between semaglutide and blindness but that it warranted further study. But that admission is drowned out by all the fear mongering.
@@VernCrisler
Almost every study in existence ends with the statement that more study is necessary.
A proper study would be like what the NTSB does after a plane crash, they look at the data recorders and cockpit voice recorders to see what led up to the crash.
If someone comes in with vision loss the "data recorders" (blood) should be pulled and preserved.
There has been a terrible accident, evidence should be preserved.
These things don't just randomly happen, there is a reason.
The "voice recorder" (conversation with the patient) should be preserved.
These studies are like people doing a hobby rather than serious investigation.
The system though is not set up for serious investigations.
@@mballer Well, I suppose if people are afraid they'll go blind taking these GLP-1 / GIP drugs, they shouldn't buy them. There's a shortage right now, so if they stop buying the drugs, more will be left for those of us who really need them.
I had this happen in 2016 due to high blood pressure between my yearly doctor visits. I woke up one morning and couldn't tell what time it was on my digital clock. I closed my right eye and I could see the time. Come to find out due to a stressful series of events at that time, I had a piece of cholesterol break off and it ended up in the tiny blood vessel in my right eye. I can see mostly through my eye, just not directly straight ahead and there is a blurry section occluding my vision. They put me through a series of exams to see my heart and arteries and they couldn't find anything but my high blood pressure. They put me on high blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds (which I hate they make me tired). I started Semaglutide almost two years ago and the weight did not want to come off me but I did lose 30 lbs super slowly. I had been taking Semaglutide until May when I decided to stop using it due to heartburn and throwing up occasionally in the middle of the night. If I knew about this risk also, I would not have taken it at all. So glad I stopped. Of course, the weight is creeping back up because I am not constipated all the time (which makes you feel fuller) and that seems to be how it worked on me when taking it.
Thank you for such an informative and well done video and for mentioning Amioderone complications. In Canada cardiologists downplay all side effects and virtually neglect occular ones. I am a cardiac afib/chf patient and have always refused Amioderone. However I believe my retina damage was caused by the Entresto drug. I found some initial pre-distribution research with Opthamologists concerns but then no follow through. The pandemic interfered with proper post marketing research imo. If this is a topic you could follow up on millions of your viewers who are cardiac could benefit ❤️. Thank you for the excellent work you do.
Hey I appreciate that! Thank you. Yes, there are many ocular side effects to medications. Especially cardiac ones, surprisingly. Perhaps I should just do a video about medication side effects and the eye in general. Thank you and god bless.
@@DoctorEyeHealththat would be a very helpful one since I’ve had a detached retina before and have glucouma.
@@DoctorEyeHealth I wouldn't mind seeing a video on medication side effects either. Though if you could do one on recurrent corneal erosion syndrome I'd be even more thrilled. A lot of opthamologists don't seem to know what to do when it keeps happening over and over again, connected with dry eye but no obvious original injury.
Gracias por tu Informacion amigo
🙏
Omg this is scary 😮😮😮
Yeah there is a lot of people taking these medications! Its almost 9% over 3 years for a cumulative risk.
Do other diabetic meds have this same blindness risk?
Actually no! That was part of the study - perhaps I could have done a better job pointing that out. For diabetics, the study reported a a overall cumulative risk of NAION for patients on other diabetic medications at only about 1.8%, but closer to 8.9% for people taking Semaglutide (Ozempic).
@@DoctorEyeHealth thanks!
Thank you for this question. I was just about to ask. I just turned 50. T2D on Mounjaro. My eyes are changing but I hope it's just due to age related changes. Time to visit the eye doc as I haven't been in about 5 years. I know I'm bad I just don't have vision insurance.! Thank you for this video!
My wife’s, brothers, friend just had a heart attack from ozempic. She is in the hospital recovering. 😬
Hahaha 😂
It's these types of side effects that keep me leary of pharmaceuticals in general. After years of suspecting, I finally had it confirmed that my MGD was being caused by Sjogrens. The eye doc's answer was for me to go on a lifelong regimen of Restasis, which I declined. I'm attempting to handle it with diet, cleansing and the eyelid squeezing techniques (I learned from you). It's a hassle, but at least I'm not trading in eyesight for additional organ failures. PS, thanks for all you do.
I wanna tell you right now the ophthalmologists they have working at kaiser or absolute morons. I've learned more watching your channel than I have ever learned from my own eye doctors over 50 years.
What about tirzepatide? Which is also known as Zepbound? It is a different drug, but has similar qualities as semaglutide?
Similar, but not exactly the same. At any rate, the study only looked at semaglutide. But here's a thought: if it's due to ozempic's GLP-1 agonist activity, then tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) might be expected to show less increased NAION, since tirzepatide's effect is partly through GLP-1 and partly through GIP, whereas ozempic is entirely through GLP-1 agonism. But if it's an effect of the rapid lowering of blood glucose, then tirzepatide would be expected to have similar risk.
In both cases the medications are administered in increasing dosage over time, so (if it's due to rapid decrease in glucose) it might be possible to mitigate the effect by slowing down that increase schedule (currently it takes 8 weeks to reach a full dose of ozempic).
I think I’d freak out if my eyes weren’t in pain 😂
TY for the video! I was starting to look into taking it. I have enough eye problems already. I’ll pass for now.
I find it interesting that, up until now, The media has portrayed this as a magic pill that would virtually cure obesity, heart disease and addiction, amongst other miracles. So why are we hearing about this symptom now, how many people is it affecting and what do these people have in common as opposed to those who do not experience this symptom? While it could be a small percentage of people taking this medication, with the mass popularity of this drug, even a small number is still something we need to understand since vision loss is a significant side effect.
hello doctor, I have had dry eyes for the past 6 months, but for the past few days I have seen a faint rainbow halo if behind the lights the sky is dark, if the lights in my house don't see a rainbow, is that due to dry eyes or is there another eye health problem? A few weeks earlier I had gone to the eye doctor and I was only diagnosed with dry eyes. should I check again with a different doctor? I've been feeling anxious about my eye health lately even though I've been to the doctor
I take Ozempic for a year n 4 mos…I went to eye dr for follow up n discovered I am pretty blind on my left eye…I’m scheduled for my second eye shot next week…
I had a NAION with a heartburn drug. Thanks for this video. Check your FDA drug pdf online.
Could you please give me the name. I take prescription acid reflux medication
@@TrickeryISee omeprazole.
@@JoeSmith-pu9hi Thank you
So sorry to hear that
Add this side effect to the others such as thyroid cancer, stomach paralysis- what a great drug!!!
Dr. Joseph, thank you for that information, most appreciated. I am not a diabetic, but my husband and daughter have to keep an eye on their blood sugar, because they are boarder line. My husband and daughter have to have blood drawn every 6 months, but they are on diets (overweight). Again, thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. 🥰👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
Hey thank you! I wish you and your family great health.
nothing like healthy food in needed proportions and activity, and self acceptance
My vote would be for the drug causing NAION, because the Keto diets and many others that have been utilized for more than 100+ years, focus on dropping blood sugars and reducing insulin spikes and there are no reports or studies showing that connection.
My vote would be a B vitamin deficiency caused by not eating.
We need actual blood work.
It must be a combination of things otherwise everyone would be going blind.
My daughter’s doctor started her on the Mounjaro for her diabetes, does that cause the same thing, I need to let her know. I think she’s been on that shot for 8-9 months.
Yes please doctor will you respond. My roommate started it a few weeks ago and her sister and brothers are all on it for weight loss.
They have some similarities in mechanism of action, but was not included in this specific study. Right now, the only ocular side effects is that people with preexisting diabetic retinopathy should be advised that symptoms may temporarily worsen if glycemic control quickly improves. Any eye or vision changes should be discussed with a local eye care professional.
@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you for responding and so quickly🙏
Should I consider dulaglutide to have similar risks to my vision?
WOW GOOD LUCK TO ALL HOLLIWOD FOLLOW THAT DIET !!! THANK U FOR SHARING
Hi doc! Does antidepressents suppress or prevent the effects of tear increaser drops like Restasis due to related side effects?
Hey thanks for asking! Many antidepressent medications are known to reduce tear production as well as inhibit mucin production on the surface of the eye, often making dry eye worse. I can't say they compete against cyclosporine medications (like restasis) but antidepressents often do make dry eye worse. Kind of a double edged sword, because depression on its own can contribute to dry eye...
Interesting not everyone the same, I am T2 taking Ozempic and controlling my sugar it has helped my eyes health so far. Not to say an eye stroke can't happen.
Is there something we can monitor or lookout for with regular eye exams?
Well NAION does tend to come on suddenly without any warning signs, but some people may be at higher risk. Suck as people with very small, crowded optic nerves. In addition, people with higher risk factors listed in the video. Perhaps asking your eye doctor if they have concerns about the size of your optic nerve or if they see signs of floppy eyelid syndrome (as there is a high associated between floppy eyelids syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea - which is also a risk factor for many eye diseases, including NAION).
@@DoctorEyeHealth Can having a vasodilator like lutein, arginine, astaxanthin help increase blood flow to the optic nerve helping with preventing this condition?
Most likely vasodilator would not help preventing this. Crowed optic nerves, known as “discs at risk” are more prone the getting NIAON. Many ED drugs ( Viagra, Cialis) that cause vasodilation can bring on an optic nerve infarct in these patients. Unfortunately it’s untreatable. Some improvement may occur over time, but never back to the previous level. These optic nerves are more common in far sighted patients. They usually have small optic nerves that are compacted.
Very informative and thought-provoking! Thank you for addressing this. I think the biggest mistake is when people take these medications for following the Hollywood trends to lose smaller amounts of weight. I think titration of the dose in truly type 2 diabetics where other medications don't lower their a1c enough and severely morbidly obese patients should strictly followed. Doctors should be more cautious about who should use it. Then those who truly NEED it wouldn't have to go without due to a shortage! And why not study boosting gut health by increasing GLP1 naturally. I'd like to know if that increases this risk for blindness! FDA has caused most of the health problems with the garbage they allow to be consumed in the US!
When "THE PILL" came out, I waited 10 years to be certain it was safe, before taking it. There are NO SHORTCUTS to weight loss, by taking meds! How can people be so STOOPID? I have Sjogrens and experience dry eyes, so I am very careful about my eyes, especially because I've had sinus problems all my life, which affect my vision. Thank you for this informative video!
I would NEVER take a shortcut to lose weight, I have cut out all "white" foods and sugar, eating carnivore. We do not eat enough protein which heals, the horrid itchy rash has vanished.
If you mean oral contraception there is more and more evidence coming out that it causes long-term fertility problems, actually.
But their theme song is so cool .
It is 🫤 They all are. I think that’s the point.
Hi Doctor. Great information and as a diabetic patient and optometrist i am taking metphormin and doing a diet to control everything. Do you think or do you know that this oral metphormin has impact in our vision?
Hey! Many studies show a positive impact of metformin on eye health, and not just for diabetes. The most common side effect I ever see is just blood sugar coming down and a shift in a glasses prescription.
3:00 No "FDA approved" or "Medicare apptoved" treatment.
I would like to know if timely HBOT has never helped "off label".
✌️😜 Thanks as always for possible life altering info Doc💒⚔️ God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️
Can having a vasodilators like lutein, astaxanthin/ arginine help with increasing blood flow to the optic nerve?
Publications do hypothesize that some supplements that increase nitric oxide (which helps with vasodilation and blood flow) can help have a protective effect on the optic nerve and retinal vasculature from several eye conditions.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Good to know! I'm a biochemist and I just had a hunch it could possibly help but I didnt check the literature on this particular subject matter. Now I am extremely curious and will dig deeper for more info! Thank you so much.
It states on the Label "for single patient use only" What if you are Married?
😂
Hey doc, i was wondering how stem cell and eye desease relation in the curent era
Great question! There are some clinical trials ongoing for use of stem cells for dry eye and look largely positive for helping heal damaged corneal tissue and reducing inflammation. Nothing is approved or widely available yet.
My GOD
Does this devastating problem happen with all semaglutide drugs I e Rybelsus?
Perhaps, the study did look at semaglutide - not just specifically ozempic, wegovy etc. But more studies are needed.
I was on Ozempic a couple of years ago, but I have advanced to the highest dose of Wegovy, which I have been on for about a year. I have had no problems with it.
Thank you, Doctor. Can oxygen therapy help improve those who have suffered eye damage due to Ozambic ???
Is Tirzepatide a semaglutide? Does it have the same risks?
Certain kind of honey in Mexico they put in your eyes to help vision
Manuka?
I am taking Metforman 1,000 mg morning and 500 at night. I am not a diabetic. Is there any risk for this?
Ouch its terrible😮
Can this data be used in anyway to make assumptions on the impact for users with glaucoma and / or elevated IOP glaucoma suspects?
It doesn't look like they collected for that data. But it is known that people with similar medical history (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea) cary increased risk for glaucoma.
This is off-topic but… I occasionally get optical migraines… They are pain-free and they usually last from 5 to 20 minutes. More than likely five minutes. Does anyone know what causes this?
Low omega 3.
Get your blood levels tested.
Eating a gram or two of good quality, non rancid DHA heavy fish oil each day for a few months should help.
Vitamin d, vitamin K2, magnesium.
Find a doctor who treats with nutrition before drugs.
There are many known triggers for migraine, these include stress, caffeine (too much or too little), weather changes, aged cheeses, smoked meats, lack of sleep, chocolate, sugar substitutes, dehydration, alcohol, MSG, strong odors, citrus fruits...
association not correlations. important detail. this drug gets a lot of hate especially since Ely Lily launched their version
Hi my father is over 90 yrs he got this problem many years back completely blind 5 or 10% of out side light he can see but not a diabatic patient. recover is impossible ? Did Consultation with best Eye doctor's in srilanka
what about Mounjaro? my Dr switched me to because too many people using Ozempic short supply. works same = same danger?
Ppt with or without glasses
F**** that! I love seeing the world! I'd rather go on a 2 hr jog every day, and live on fish, veggies, fruit and bran than risk losing my vision !
Could this be mis diagnosed for white dot syndrome?
When Ozempic breaks down,it turns into methanol!!
😮
So, if I have had a history of eye problems (cataracts, lazy eye, Lasix, and retina detachments), it sounds like it might be Russian roulette for my eyes if I take Ozempic or Viagra, and certainly not both at the same time?
Oh boy..... my partner, who has tried every way to lose weight to no avail on top of having several chronic health conditions (one of which necessitates they do not cut out sugar and need more then most people to be healthy), already has horrible vision and Wegovy was a last hope to get genetic testing through insurance (they won't approve it til they lose weight that they can't lose).... I just hope insurance pulls their head out of their asses so they can just be tested for the FAOD that explains all their conditions AND the weight :(
💖❤️🙏💖❤️
Always love the hearts! Thank you.
Hi Dr Allen I hope you are well. I really need your help on this please reply to me. I need some info about keratoconus. So I have seen 2-3 doctors here in Pakistan and have confirmed that I have got keratoconus in my right eye, my vision with left eye is 6/6 and that with the right eye is 6/64. Doctor told me that they might need to do LASIK, but it won't recover my vision, it'll just stop where it is. So can you confirm is it really so? Because if the cornea is cone shaped and you do LASIK, it can be reshaped right? It'll do me a lot of help if you can reply. Thank you
Hey thank you for sharing! So I am not sure what doctors are doing in Pakistan right now, some countries have different technologies available. Here in the US where I practice, the LASIK procedure is not recommend for keratoconus. Instead the corneal crosslinking procedure is recommended as that can halt the progression of the disease. There are a few corneal specialists who do offer corneal crosslinking along with a procedure called PRK, this can help reshape the cornea - improving visual acuity a bit, and then stops the progression of the disease, but not everyone may be a candidate for that procedure. Oftentimes, the best vision correction for keratoconus comes from specialty contact lenses. Hope this helps, many blessings.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thanks for the reply. I did confirm from my doctor and he said that they will do cross linking to stop the progression, but the vision can not be corrected.
New fear unlocked.
Oof, definitely scary stuff!
Agreed
You may not be able to see, but you've never looked so good!
Tirzepatide cause same side effect?
They did not specifically test for that in this study. But it does work in a similar fashion. So more studies will tell .
Blindness is mainly caused by high blood pressure and diabetes, which is why they take Ozempic.
Yeah that is a point made in the publication and why I pointed that out in the video too, people who are usually taking this type of medication are already at risk of developing NAION.
It’s always the new panacea until it’s not. Change the food you eat and change your own health. I did and feel better than I have in 20 years.
Happy to hear that!
My son has a series disease of an eye he is 18 years old his 1eyes is already damage by viruses singaldad herpis jostar what to do now plz help me sir
Eat an antiviral diet.
There should be many videos on TH-cam.
America won't regulate its food supply, but let it's citizens go blind trying to lose weight.
😢😢😢😢😢😢 My doctor suggested I take this garbage since I am about 110 lbs overweight. I am refusing. I will lose weight naturally and not take short cuts. Trying to take short cuts in ANYTHING in life usually comes back to bite you in the azz!!!😢😢😢😢😢
Give up processed foods. Give up grains. You will lose weight easily by eating meat, healthy fats like butter, evoo, avocado oil, low carb vegetables, and the occasional berries. Nuts in moderation, but maybe not in the beginning of the change in lifestyle. I dropped 52 lbs. eating this Keto way, without exercising. I do suggest exercising, to not lose muscle.
Is there a side effect this drug doesn’t have? Christ.
at least you will be thin, but blind...
This is irresponsible health advice because it does not include statistics. If the danger of an eye stroke was quadrupled from 1 to 4 per billion it would still be negligible. This does not inform laypeople of the relative costs and benefits of the drug.
🤔😱😱😱😱
The new 'statin' 💰💰💰💰💰
Ozempic has a whole slew of terrible side effects
I don't understand how someone can have the energy to get help, take a pill, but doesn't have the energy to eat less and walk around more.
During the pandemic I lost 52 lbs in 6 months... 100lbs a year is a very achievable goal for anyone.
don't judge
it's not just for weight loss it's also for diabetes.
Also why did you have to lose those 52 pounds? Why did you gain so much weight instead of walking more earlier? I don't want to be mean, of course some people are just plain lazy but for many it's harder than that. What if you have 2 jobs? When you're supposed to lose that weight?
I find your comment very ignorant
Here’s some information about why I went down the this route for weight management
I woke up 5am walked 5-6 miles a morning and ate a vegetable diet/ next to nothing for around 6 years after my pcos diagnosis Journey I was constantly starving and afraid of food, over exercising at the gym and exhausteding myself after loosing very little weight despite my extreme diet and exercise habbits, sometimes I even gained excessive amounts of weight uncontrollably
Taking this medication means I can eat more sufficient food & t less and maintain a healthy weight
Some people have little control over their metabolism due to medical conditions. This may not be everyone but some do unfortunately that’s why they explore this route
I’m grateful for this doctor’s information. There is always a risk when starting medication
You end up blind but 👋 you lost weight 😂😑🤔
Is it me, because it seems ozempic is a product from a twilight zone episode......
Rename the drug companies "needful things".
Thanks for spreading panic and upsetting the many to whom this is unlikely to happen! I unsubscribed you!!😡😡
Sorry you feel that way, I think it’s very important info to know about.
Wow let’s put up blinders! 😂
He’s reporting findings from a study. How is that spreading panic? It would be worse for him to not share this important information. I appreciate it because I’ve wondered about these drugs, but won’t be taking them at all, or certainly not until more time passes and we get much more data on potential side effects like this one.
How about Saxenda? Was it also studied in this case? As it is like 'chemical cousin' of ozempic can we expect similar problems?
Great question! Saxenda was not included in this study but I imagine there will be someone looking into that too.
