Show Notes
A man from Columbia, Maryland, Todd Engel, is suing the makers of Ozempic, a diabetes drug, after it allegedly caused him to go legally blind. Engel, a former truck driver, developed non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), a rare eye condition, after taking Ozempic. He lost sight in both eyes, forcing him to quit his job and rely on his wife for daily tasks. Engels lawsuit claims that the drugs makers knew about the risk of NAION but did not warn users. The case is part of a growing number of lawsuits against the drug company, with Engel hoping to raise awareness and push for better warnings.
