“Anytime we see someone who we think doesn’t need the medication, unless you’re their doctor, you don’t know their medical history,” she said.
Salas-Whalen went on to say that the general public should not be hasty in responding when someone admits to having taken the drug, which is widely touted as an easy way to lose weight in a short period of time.
“No one can assume, just by looking at it, that they don’t need it or that they’re doing it for the wrong reasons,” she said.

Another asked, ‘Wait, isn’t there a shortage of Ozempic for diabetics?’ And Dolores only casually admitted with a big smile that she’s in?’
