Dr. Terry Dubrow recently discussed his experience with Ozempic, a drug commonly used to treat Type 2 diabetes. The doctor opened up about why he decided to stop taking the medication, which has gained popularity among Hollywood stars trying to lose weight.
While Ozempic is primarily prescribed for those with diabetes, it has become a trend among celebrities, including Boy George, Sharon Osbourne, and various reality TV stars. This has caused a shortage for those who truly need the drug and raised concerns among health professionals.
Dr. Dubrow, known for his appearances on Botched and The Real Housewives of Orange County, admitted to trying the injections himself out of curiosity. Despite not needing to lose much weight, he wanted to see what the experience was like. However, he soon experienced side effects such as mild nausea and decreased appetite, leading him to stop taking the medication.
He explained that he wanted to regain his enjoyment of eating, especially with the holidays approaching. As he put it, he wanted to be able to go on a "food vacation" without worrying about the effects of the drug. Dr. Dubrow also shared that Ozempic took away the pleasure of eating for him.
Sharon Osbourne, another celebrity who has publicly discussed her use of Ozempic, revealed that she lost 30lbs while on the medication. However, she never intended to lose so much weight and expressed her struggles with weight throughout her life. She also shared that she had tried various weight loss methods, including gastric band surgery, but nothing had worked long-term.
In regards to Ozempic, Sharon stated that it had a reverse effect on her and she was now unable to gain weight no matter what she ate. She lamented that she had finally reached her desired weight, but it didn't suit her and she couldn't change it.
Dr. Dubrow and Sharon Osbourne's experiences with Ozempic highlight the controversial nature of the drug and the potential risks and side effects. It is important for individuals to consult with their doctors and make informed decisions about their health and weight loss journey.
