So, what is Ozempic? Why is it controversial?
Ozempic is the brand name for semaglutide. Its most name-recognizable, and has trended on the algorithmic nightmare app, TikTok.
It is an important diabetes medicine. The use of semiglutides for recreational weight loss has resulted in documented reductions in several countries.
In principle, forgetting for a moment that there are people who really need this drug, these injections help with weight loss. Essentially, as an appetite suppressant.
Many side effects include gastrointestinal problems, from heartburn to nausea. It fits naturally with a drug that slows down the digestive process.
Other side effects include an increased risk of a rare but serious form of thyroid cancer. This certainly applies to people who need this drug to live – which makes it worth the risk in most cases.
Unfortunately, as with any fad—especially one with proven weight loss results—many people are ignoring the potential side effects.
The good news is that people can stop taking Ozempic when they realize that they are undermining basic health care from those who need it.
Of course, it’s an appetite suppressant. Body weight comes from many factors, including genetics, other medications, and more. Many patients will find that once they stop taking it they regain some, all or even most of the weight they had lost.
Now, sometimes weight gain is very circumstantial. Childbirth, periods of depression, or recovery from injury can cause one’s body shape to vary greatly.
Jennifer Fessler’s circumstances may be one of these or something similar. Or maybe not.
Either way…it’s weird to hear someone tease that they’ve gone through such controversial treatment. The other housewives have strongly denied this.
