The one who managed the group Black Sabbath explains that she recently stopped taking the drug.
She says she had constant nausea for almost a month when she started taking it.
“At first, you feel nauseous,” explains Ms. Osbourne. You don’t physically vomit, but you feel this feeling for three or four weeks. You’re really thirsty and you don’t want to eat.”
Listen to Dr. Julie St-Pierre, lipidologist and pediatrician specializing in obesity and cardiovascular diseases on Richard Martineau via QUB radio :
This lack of desire to eat is the reason why she does not advise young people to take this medication.
“You can’t take it forever,” she said. That’s why I keep saying we need to keep this product out of the reach of young people because they’re going to go crazy with it, and that’s not good.”
Sharon Osbourne claims to have lost 42 pounds (19 kg) since she started taking the drug.
“I didn’t intend to lose all this weight, and I’ll probably gain it back soon,” she says.
For her part, Ms. Osbourne’s daughter, who was also present during the interview with Piers Morgan, believes that Ozempic had a positive effect on her mother.
“I saw what it did to my mother’s confidence, and I can only speak for myself […]but I think that [l’Ozempic] “is worth it,” she says.
Ozempic, a drug primarily intended for people with diabetes, has gained popularity in recent times for its attributes that simulate the hormone the body naturally produces to slow the passage of food through the stomach, which is said to help feeling full for longer.
However, many side effects have been reported while taking this medication.
CNN reports that the US Food and Drug Association recently made a change to the drug’s label to indicate that it may cause intestinal blockage for some people.
