Although using medications to lose weight has gained in popularity, and in some cases can be effective, they come with significant risks. A 2024 study showed that the popular medication [[semaglutide]] (marketed for Type 2 diabetes under the names Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy) comes with the risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, causing sudden loss of eyesight (NAION is the second-leading cause of blindness from optic nerve damage, after glaucoma).<ref>https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/wegovy-ozempic-linked-with-sight-threatening-eye-disorder-study-2024-07-03/</ref>
