Ozempic, Wegovy linked to rare cases of eye disorder, EMA says

The European Medicines Agency's safety committee has concluded that the use of Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss drug Wegovy and its treatments for type 2 diabetes may cause rare occurrences of a potentially dangerous eye condition. Called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), the condition may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people taking semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Novo's diabetes drugs Ozempic and Rybelsus, the regulator said on Friday. The EMA, which started its review in December, said the use of the drugs is linked to about twofold increase in the risk of developing the condition compared to people not taking the medicine. NAION develops from insufficient blood flow to the optic nerve and causes sudden painless vision loss in one eye. It is the second most common cause of blindness due to optic nerve damage, after glaucoma. Story continues below advertisement 1:54 GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy reduce Alzheimer's risk for those with diabetes Studies have linked semaglutide to NAION in the past. But this is the first time a regulator has made the link. Get weekly health news Receive the latest medical news and health information delivered to you every Sunday. Sign up for weekly health newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Semaglutide belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which work by helping control blood sugar levels and triggering a feeling of fullness. A large study of nearly 350,000 diabetics published earlier this year had showed that the risk of developing NAION more than doubled after long-term use of semaglutide, compared to patients taking medicines from other classes. The EMA said it has reviewed all available data on NAION with semaglutide, including data from non-clinical studies, clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance. It has recommended the drugmaker to update prescribing information for medicines containing semaglutide to include NAION as a side effect with a frequency of 'very rare.'

Relive Your Childhood The Viking Way With The 'How To Train Your Dragon' Pop-Up At Sunway Pyramid!

One of the most pivotal animated films of the 2010s is, without a doubt, DreamWorks' 'How to Train Your Dragon,' a beautiful fantasy world where humans and dragons co-exist… Well, sort of. Now, after 15 years, you can once again relive the magic of your childhood and revisit the world of Berk with Sunway Pyramid's 'How To Train Your Dragon' pop-up! That's right! Made in collaboration with United Pictures, Sunway Pyramid invites you to LG2 Orange Concourse, where you'll find the 'How to Train Your Dragon' pop-up! This immersive live experience lets you explore the cheerfully chaotic town with Hiccup and his crew in person! Explore fun games and endless activities with your friends and family! Step into the fantastical world of Berk, a legendary town where dragons and humans coexist. As you enter, you are ushered into a stunning recreation of its hearty Viking society, complete with workshops, sheep pens, and training areas! Each portion of the set plunges you deep into the beloved fictional region, with loads of activities for you and your young ones to enjoy. Not only can you have non-stop fun, but you can also win exciting prizes. From 6th to 22nd June, simply head over to the Orange Concourse and check in via Sunway Malls Mobile App and you can be one of the 10 lucky shoppers who stand a chance to win an exclusive 'How to Train Your Dragon' merchandise set, containing a baseball cap, tumbler, and picnic basket! One such activity to try your hand at is the Sheep Toss! Unleash your inner Viking strength and hurl mini sheep plushies into the dragon's mouth to earn points! But you better hurry, as you'll be racing against the clock, so be sure to earn as many points as you can with the time allotted! Once the dragons are nice and fed, it's time to earn the namesake of the venue and train your own dragon! Enter the dynamic obstacle course that will put your skills to the test. Hone your dragon strength, speed, precision, and agility as you bob, weave, and leap into success. You'll also get an up-close and personal look at your other favourite dragons, such as Meatlug, HookFang, Stormfly, and Barf and Belch. When you've earned the heart of a Viking, it's time to dress like one! Don your favourite fur coat and helmet, and become a full-fledged member of Berk! Then, pop a squat at Stoick the Vast's magnificent throne for an unforgettable photo opportunity, complete with matching backdrop and vibrant decor.

Not only that, but if you post your photos with the hashtags '#SunwayPyramid', '#HTTYD2025', '#HTTYDLiveActionMovie', '#OnlyInPyramid' online, you stand a chance to win some exciting prizes!

With paper, craft materials, and a bit of creativity, you can bring your creation to life. Furthermore, with three different workshops, guests can create their very own mask, shield, and dragon, giving your friends and family endless fun!
