In one small study, 7 out of 9 people who developed vision problems while taking semaglutide or tirzepatide were diagnosed with NAION
Dulaglutide has been approved by the FDA for use only in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but semaglutide is approved for both the management of type 2 diabetes and for weight management
In patients with type 2 diabetes, Semaglutide GLP-1 injections can help regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon production

Also worth emphasizing: the 0.25 mg weekly dose is a starter dose to improve tolerability, not a therapeutic maintenance dose for glycemic control
