Celebrities Who've Publicly Spoken About Ozempic

Dr. Drew Pinsky is speaking out about Ozempic—the good, the bad and the ugly.

"People have a mixed feeling about interventions like this," Dr. Pinsky exclusively told E! News at Fox's Special Forces: World's Toughest Test season two event in Los Angeles on Sept. 12. "They're tantalized by it, but on the other hand, they have this weird judgment. If we have a medication that can be helpful, by all means, people should be encouraged to think about it."

However, the addiction medicine specialist noted that the potential risks to using the Type 2 diabetes medication as a weight loss drug is still relatively unknown.

"When you take a medication that's used beyond its therapeutic intention, you're only going to see bad things," he continued. "There's lingering concerns. It has downsides like every medication."

Some of the common side effects being reported, Dr. Pinsky shared, are nausea and vomiting. But as he reminded, "There's always surprisesคำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง. I always worry about people rushing through medication."

"I would rather see people try Ozempic than doing giant surgeries," he admitted. "It does work."

Of course, Dr. Pinsky isn't the first medical professional to weigh in on the Ozempic craze. 

Back in July, Botched stars Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif candidly shared an important message about the trendy weight loss drug. 

"People have to stop making people feel bad about being on these drugs," Dr. Dubrow told E! News' Francesca Amiker at the time. "Stop Ozempic shaming because it's not nice."

Similar to Drคำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง. Pinsky's concerns, Dr. Dubrow argued that medical professionals aren't able to properly record the potential risks of the drug because of the judgement people have.

"It's dangerous because people aren't talking about the side effects," he explained. "And the problem with Ozempic shaming is that people won't admit to this, so they're not able to teach other people their experience with it."
