It’s the buzz in Hollywood (and on TikTok). The wealthy have been using the pricey weight loss injection to slim down, and now the stars reportedly are, too.
Semaglutide is its medical name, manufactured by Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. But it’s sold under the brand name Ozempic, among others. Injected once weekly in the buttock or stomach, it’s an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it’s also being injected for weight loss.
“The only side effect I have is sometimes when I eat cheese or greasy foods, I get a nauseous feeling,” he says. “But that’s pretty much it. I don’t have any side effects really.” The way it is meant to work is by reducing blood glucose through a mechanism where it stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion.
