糖尿病衛教學會理事長歐弘毅:FDA僅示警未要求停用,風險差異低且未達顯著相關

Quick Look

美國FDA示警GLP-1受體促效劑類藥品可能增加罕見視神經病變(NAION)風險,台灣食藥署將啟動安全性再評估。糖尿病衛教學會理事長歐弘毅強調,FDA僅示警未要求停用,使用者風險為每十萬人6.4人,一般人為3.8人,差異低且未達顯著相關,糖尿病患者切勿擅自停藥,務必先與醫師討論評估。

Why It Matters

美國FDA近期針對GLP-1受體促效劑類藥品發布警訊,指出使用此類藥品後可能增加罕見的非動脈炎性前部缺血性視神經病變(NAION)風險。台灣食藥署也將啟動該類藥品整體安全性再評估,並依評估結果採取必要的風險管理措施。

〔記者林志怡/台北報導〕美國FDA示警GLP-1受體促效劑類藥品恐增加視神經病變風險,引起民眾關注。糖尿病衛教學會理事長歐弘毅說,以現階段來說,美國FDA並未要求停用這類藥品,醫療人員需要重視這類風險,但民眾不用過度恐慌,糖尿病患者更不要擅自停藥,務必與醫師討論,評估用藥風險與好處後再做調整。

不過,歐弘毅提醒,如果民眾使用藥物後若有突然有單眼看不清楚、視野缺一塊的情況,即使沒有疼痛感也要盡速就醫,接受眼科評估,確認症狀與藥物有無相關。

美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)近期針對GLP-1受體促效劑類藥品發布警訊,指出使用此類藥品後,可能增加罕見的「非動脈炎性前部缺血性視神經病變(NAION)」風險,我國食藥署也將啟動該類藥品整體安全性再評估,並依評估結果採取必要的風險管理措施。

相關訊息發出後引起民眾關注,部分民眾對此感到不安,歐弘毅指出,FDA的公告是希望提醒醫療人員此類藥品相關風險,是很重要、需要重視的訊息,但這次美國FDA僅是示警,並未要求醫療單位與病人立刻停止使用相關藥物,就現階段來說,民眾不用過度恐慌。

歐弘毅解釋,即使是一般人,也同樣存在NAION風險,依據FDA公告的資料,使用GLP-1相關藥品者NAION發生風險為每十萬人有6.4人,而一般人發生NAION的機率為每十萬人有3.8人,兩者之間的風險差異其實很低,在統計學上也並未達到顯著相關。

此外,歐弘毅提到,有些評論認為,美國FDA所呈現的風險差異與GLP-1相關藥物使用者本身就是NAION高風險族群有關,但其實前述資料所分析的對象包括糖尿病患、肥胖等多種樣態,目前使用這類藥物後出現NAION的因果關係、詳細原因都還沒有完全確定。

歐弘毅強調,GLP-1受體促效劑類藥品固然存在其風險,但對於血糖控制、體重、腎臟、心臟、肝臟的保護效益也都已經有資料證實,且健保也對相關藥品設有給付適應症,醫師會給糖尿病患者使用此類藥物一定都有其必要性,千萬不要貿然停藥,務必先與醫師討論、評估,自費減重等用途則另當別論。

The more protein you eat, the better! Study reveals that eating less may delay aging. The key is to look at 1 habit

The researchers pointed out that protein intake recommendations should take into account the amount of activity, and those who usually sit for long periods of time may not necessarily need to supplement a large amount of protein.
