These Celebs Share Skepticism About Super Star Weight Loss Drug, Ozempic
A hot new drug has swept Hollywood, and it's keeping celebs more slim and trim now than ever before.
Ozempic was released by the Food And Drug Association for use in adults battling type 2 diabetes. It works by administering a weekly injection which helps lower blood sugar by helping the pancreas make more insulin, per the FDA.
The star-studded drug isn't just lowering blood sugar, it's also snatching waistlines.
Celebs such as Sharon Osbourne, 71, Oprah Winfrey, 70, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, 52, have admitted to using it. However, we have compiled celebs who didn't have many nice things to say about the ever popular weight loss drug.

Actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry has also shared his harrowing experience, claiming that the "fat jab" caused him to vomit up three times a day, per the Mirror.

"Let's not discredit my years of working out. I get up 5 days a week at 6am to train," Kardashian, 39, shot back. "Please stop with your assumptions. I guess new year still means mean people," she wrote per the Mirror.
