Sharon Osbourne opens up about the negative side effects she has experienced since taking Ozempic, a medication used to treat people with type 2 diabetes.

“I’m too skinny and can’t gain weight,” Osbourne, 71, said in an interview with the Chron published on Friday. “I want to because I feel like I’m too skinny. I’m under 100 (pounds) and I don’t want to be. Be careful what you wish for.”

The reporter described her as “a tiny bird” and significantly smaller than when they spoke just 18 months ago.

“I started Ozempic last December and have been listening to it for a while now, but my warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy,” Osbourne said. “You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to it, which is very dangerous.”

“I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 20 kilos and I can’t afford to lose any more,” she added.

The TV personality hinted that she has faced a lot of criticism over her looks, but said that she “never really cared what people say about the way I look because I know I’ve spent a fortune on being attractive.” to look.”

“I was never a beauty. “I’ve never been so blessed,” the former “The Talk” co-host said.

How does Ozempic work for weight loss?

Ozempic has been at the center of controversy in Hollywood, where its alleged use attracted a lot of attention, particularly among already thin celebrities. The brand-name drug semaglutide is just one of many in a class of drugs known as incretin mimetics.

“Semaglutide sends signals to the appetite center in your brain to reduce hunger and increase satiety,” says Dr. Deborah Horn, assistant professor in the Department of Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. “This helps you feel full with smaller meals and reduces the need for snacking. … (The drug) reduces what we call “food noise” so we don’t think about food as much or use food to solve other problems. “

In June 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved semaglutide – under the brand name Wegovy – for the treatment of chronic obesity. Since then, interest in the drug, which requires weekly injections, has skyrocketed.
