Manufacturers dispute that the drugs caused their injuries. By Mark Huffman of ConsumerAffairs September 22, 2026 Patients are suing Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging their diabetes and weight-loss drugs caused sudden, sometimes permanent vision loss.European regulators classify the eye condition NAION as a very rare side effect of semaglutide, the ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy.The companies dispute the allegations, and questions about causation and adequate warnings remain central to the litigation.Patients who say they suffered sudden vision loss after taking popular diabetes and weight-loss medications are pursuing lawsuits against Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, alleging the manufacturers failed to adequately warn them about a potentially devastating eye condition.The lawsuits concern nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, which occurs when inadequate blood flow damages the optic nerve.

Its review covered clinical trials, observational studies, postmarketing reports and other evidence.Several large studies suggested approximately twice the risk among adults with Type 2 diabetes taking semaglutide compared with those not taking it. In absolute terms, that translated into approximately one additional case per 10,000 people treated for one year, according to the EMA.That finding applies specifically to semaglutide and should not automatically be extended… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Earl Spencer Book Blasts Diana’s Treatment by UK Royal Family
