Healthy sized people are using Ozempic to get ‘beach body ready’ – but there are risks they need to know about

The Independent  

It was ironic that the confession came midway through dinner. “People see it as a magic pen,” says Dr Natalie Hammer, an aesthetic medicine practitioner who only prescribes Ozempic as part of a sustainable weight loss programme, but is constantly being asked for it by those who don’t meet the requirements. “It is illegal to buy Ozempic, or other GLP-1 receptors without a prescription,” notes Dr Charlotte Norton, chief medical officer of the UK’s largest online weight loss clinic, The Slimming Clinic. She also warns that the practice circumvents proper medical evaluation and oversight, potentially exposing individuals to adverse effects and complications: “Obtaining semaglutide without a legitimate medical indication and proper medical supervision poses serious health risks and should be strongly discouraged.” While I don’t follow through with my request, from anecdotes I know others who have got access to Wegovy this way often take it midweek so they can get over any side effects before the weekend hits. “This poses a serious threat to patient safety, potentially leading to overdoses, allergic reactions, or even severe health complications, including death.” As for side effects of the official weight loss jabs, there are many, with those listed on the Ozempic brand’s website ranging from nausea and vomiting to pancreatitis and kidney failure.
