Message: <blockquote data-quote="cugila" data-source="post: 97942" data-attributes="member: 15325">Re: VICTOZAHi Jasey.Finally tracked down the article about adverse Thyroid events which happened during the Clinical trials.  This medicine is monitored intensively by the CHM and MHRA.Here is an extract:Thyroid eventsThe overall rates of thyroid adverse events in all intermediate and long-term trials are 33.5, 30.0 and 21.7 events per 1000 subject years of exposure for total liraglutide, placebo and total comparators; 5.4, 2.1 and 0.8 events, respectively concern serious thyroid adverse events.In liraglutide-treated patients, thyroid neoplasms, increased blood calcitonin and goiters are the most frequently thyroid adverse events and were reported in 0.5%, 1% and 0.8% of patients respectively.  (end quote)There is an almost negligible risk. Much higher risk from some foods and additives. However, if you have a Thyroid problem this should be discussed with your GP. As Thyroid Cancer is also only 1% of the total cancers in the world again it it probably not really something to worry about in this instance. DVLA, Medical Helpline is:You can notify DVLA of a medical condition or any changes by telephone. Please remember to quote your full name, date of birth and or driver number (if known).
