The Aporia · Weight loss drugs, such as Ozempic, to carry FDA warning about rare vision-loss side effects

The Food and Drug Administration will require weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy to include warnings about a rare side effect that can lead to permanent vision loss due to non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. This condition, which has been reported with all GLP-1 drugs used for obesity and diabetes management, can result in significant vision impairment. The FDA initiated this review following a 2024 medical paper linking the eye condition to patients using semaglutide, the active ingredient in these medications.

Story summary

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered on November 9 that manufacturers of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro include new warnings about a rare eye condition called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), which can cause sudden, permanent vision loss. Roughly 28 million Americans are currently using these drugs, according to a July Gallup poll. The warning follows a 2024 study that found diabetes patients taking semaglutide, the active ingredient in many GLP-1 drugs, were four times more likely to develop NAION than those not prescribed the medication. FDA scientists began investigating this potential link after the publication of that study.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

Hakeem Jeffries says he is a 'hard yes' for Hegseth impeachment Jeffries said that House Democrats will have a conversation about whether there's enough support for the resolution when they convene in Washington for the first time after the midterm elections on Tuesday. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said that he'll support impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Jeffries told ABC News he's a "hard yes" on the proposed resolution to impeach Hegseth, saying Hegseth "abused his power, undermined our national security, and engineered this reckless and costly war of choice in Iran." As a result of the war, Jeffries added, the American people are facing "skyrocketing prices" and are less safe.
