@nbcnightlynews: Hundreds of Americans are suing GLP-1 drugmakers Novo Nordisk and Ely Lilly, saying they were not adequately warned of the potential danger of vision loss. In statements, Novo Nordisk says, in part, they are “vigorously” fighting the lawsuits, saying they are “without merit,” while Eli Lilly says in part, it maintains “patient safety” is its “top priority.” NBC News’ Stephanie Gosk has the story.

Instead of pushing GLP 1s why don’t we start regulating the food here in the United States. Stop processing all of our food, that is our fuel.

It's EXTREMELY rare to experience any kind of blindness with a GLP-1

It is a “very, very small risk” until it happens to you then it is 100%.

All the people in the comments defending glp-1 like it’s their last effort to convince themselves it’s safe 😂

I don’t think people realise how many side effects are there to sudden weight loss , including pancreatitis and gall stones to say the least.

I was struck with NAION last spring and was not taking any medications. Mine was caused by an undiagnosed sleep apnea.

People could just start eating right. We rely to heavily on meds to fix everything.

I am curious to see in the next 10 years the development- because some say it can help slow down cancer or even be healthy overall and others say it has horrible side effects.

I was on semaglutide for a year and then retatrutide for a year. I'm so convinced these issues happen because people don't make sure they're getting decent nutrition. I don't mean to victim blame but I've met an absurd number of people of glp with literally no idea about their nutrition intake other than "I'm just never hungry its great!" 🤦♀️

My vision on a GLP1 got worse temporarily because I wasn’t getting enough vitamin A. I started eating more salad and avocados and now it’s clear. It’s nutrition. You can take Vit A Palmate with Retinol (Solaray makes it) to help with your eyes.

I hate people so much. This drug is probably the most significant scientific discovery benefiting the human race since the advent of antibiotics or immunizations and of course they find a way to sue the companies to make money.
