The use of semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), is not associated with an increased risk for nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in patients with ...
Patients treated with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) appear to have a very low incidence of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) when appropriately prescribed ...
Semaglutide exposure was significantly associated with a higher incidence rate and independently predicted a higher risk for upcoming nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. HealthDay News — ...
A potentially blinding condition is a very rare side effect of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) concluded. Following a review of ...
A novel gene therapy that leads to cellular rejuvenation could restore vision after non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and glaucoma. The technique is based on a reprogramming ...
The study found a median of 3.3 years between the initiation of GLP-1 RA use and the incidence of NAION. An increased risk for NAION was seen in association with 2 GLP-1 RAs: hazard ratios, 1.39 for ...
About The Study: The findings of this study suggest an association between semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. As this was an ...
Increased risk for NAION seen among participants with T2D, overweight/obesity receiving semaglutide vs non-GLP1-RA meds. HealthDay News — Semaglutide is associated with nonarteritic anterior ischemic ...
