Ozempic Is The New Botox? Weekly Jab To Get Skinnier Is A Fad Fast Catching Up. But Is It Safe?
One would think that botox and fillers are still trending among those in Hollywood. Here are some celebrities who have openly tried semaglutide in different forms: Business magnate Elon Musk wrote on Twitter that his weight loss was due to "fasting" and "Wegovy". Model and TikTok creator Remi Bader said she tried semaglutide but gained the weight back after coming off the drug, and the “binging got worse”. A Novo Nordisk spokesperson said: “While we recognize that some healthcare providers may be prescribing Ozempic for patients whose goal is to lose weight, Novo Nordisk does not promote, suggest, or encourage off-label use of our medicines.” There is also a possibility of stomach ache, headache, flatulence, indigestion, heartburn, bloating, reflux and hypoglycemia. The company has advised people who aren’t adults, or those pregnant, breastfeeding or have pancreatitis, Type 1 diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, problems with the pancreas or kidneys, a family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or an endocrine system condition to avoid Ozempic.
