Wegovy, Ozempic. Just the latest in multiple studies around the same drug that can paralyze the stomach also damaging your eyes.
WARNING: Possibly a record for Tyson when it comes to cursing, so definitely NSFW (outside of headphones).
Basic article reviewed: "GLP-1 Drugs Linked to Higher Risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration" (Title changed already since my search engine found it, no doubt to have less immediate headline effect. No longer says "to higher risk." SOBs)
- More than TWICE as likely to develop "wet" macular degeneration than diabetics not taking the toxin. Err... "medication." Specifically one that results in the body trying to cope by growing new blood vessels, due to LACK OF OXYGEN to the eye.
- Based on a study of 140,000 adults over three years.
- 97.5% studied were using a semaglutide (which is active ingredient in Wegovy, Ozempic).
- For this study, those who took the toxins... err... "drugs" longer had a progressively greater risk.
- - - - At 18 to 30 month of use, risk of wet AMD more than doubled versus non-users.
- - - - At 30 months of use or longer, risk TRIPLED versus non-users.
- One of many studies associating it to eye problems, including others about diabetic retinopathy, and a great "hide what it means" abbreviated "condition" that really means SUDDEN BLINDNESS (NAION)!
By the way, their "speculation" on why new vascularity in the eye is largely nonsense (less sugar could mean less oxygen). Doubt it. The body's ability to oxygenate, and make up for dietary differences to do so, is largely independent of caloric intake (but hey, what do I know).
The simplest answer, even as they stall and say the reasons are not "clearly understood," is that these are GENERAL TOXINS. They can paralyze the stomach, and in fact the MAIN effect that allows them to "treat diabetes" is that they make the stomach NOT WORK NORMALLY.
And then we know there are at least four different eye conditions associated with it.
The definition of a biological toxin is something that significantly disrupts the regular function of an organ or system. This does this across many systems (Stomach, eyes, gastrointestinal, et cetera).
