[QUOTE="cugila, post: 97942, member: 15325"] [b]Re: VICTOZA[/b] Hi 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 events The 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). You must also give details of your specific medical condition or disability in order that you can be sent the appropriate medical questionnaire if required. Telephone: 0300 790 6806 (Monday to Friday, 8.00 am to 5.30 pm and Saturday, 8.00 am to 1.00 pm) [/QUOTE]
