GLP-1 Medication Label & International Risk Disclosure Analyzer

Clinical Context: Investigating the disparity between foreign warning labels (EMA, MHRA, TGA) mandating disclosures for Non-Arteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION) versus current U.S. FDA prescribing information.
Target GLP-1 Formulation Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy)
U.S. FDA Prescribing Text

The U.S. label mentions changes in vision under warnings: "Tell your healthcare provider if you have changes in vision during treatment with OZEMPIC®." It does not explicitly state NAION or optic nerve infarction risk.

Regulatory Status: Under Ongoing Safety Review Explicit NAION Warning: No (Generalized Vision Warning Only)
Multi-Agency Cross-Border Comparison Matrix
Jurisdiction Agency NAION Warning Gastroparesis Warning Clinical Action Advised
United States FDA No Specific NAION (Broad Vision) General GI Delay Monitor baseline vision changes
European Union EMA Explicit Black Triangle / Label Severe Dehydration & Renal Risk Immediate ophthalmology consult & stop drug
United Kingdom MHRA Explicit Drug Safety Update Post-marketing Gastroparesis Urgent evaluation on painless visual loss
Australia TGA Product Information Update Gastrointestinal adverse warning Disc-at-risk screening & prompt referral
