ORANGE COUNTRY, CALIFORNIA: 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Heather Dubrow recently defended Hollywood celebrities using Ozempic for weight loss.
The Bravo star compared the weekly-once injection for type 2 diabetes mellitus with Botox.
Meanwhile, Heather's husband who happens to be 'Botched' star Dr Terry Dubrow issued a warning that extreme use of Ozempic could cost a life.
Ozempic has gained popularity as a weight-loss aid during the past year thanks to A-listers.
Heather Dubrow defends celebs using Ozempic
Heather recently defended celebrities using diabetes medication to slim down and predicted Ozempic will end up a lot like Botox.
Heather noted to TMZ that, "Ozempic should be treated just like medications for heart conditions and cholesterol."
She continued by saying that whether or not someone was taking medication was nobody's business. Heather also compared the early stages of Botox to Ozempic.
The injections, according to Heather, were frowned upon when they initially became available but are now very commonplace.
Terry Dubrow warns Ozempic could result in fatality
Dr Terry, who is also Heather's husband, has previously criticized extreme weight loss techniques, claiming that as a result of Lisa Marie Presley's autopsy results, more patients are taking on the risk of extreme weight loss.
Elvis Presley's late daughter died in January at the age of 54. According to the autopsy records, she died as a result of tiny bowel obstruction following bariatric surgery.
Meanwhile, Terry, 64, asked every specialist in the field of weight management to spread the word about the risks associated with weight loss procedures like Ozempic and bariatric surgery.
Terry further cautioned that the severe measure might lead to a fatal circumstance.
However, there was no evidence that Lisa was taking an Ozempic-like weight loss drug after her procedure, but Terry warned patients of the risks. He warned, "Nobody’s talking about this right now but we need to talk about it."
Ozempic: Miracle weight loss pill or deadly drug?
Ozempic has become a hot topic when it comes to weight loss.
The Type 2 diabetes medication, which is traditionally used to improve glycemic control, has continuously remained in the headlines due to various Hollywood stars allegedly using it to quickly shed pounds.
Although not officially a weight loss drug, research suggests that people who take Ozempic may lose modest amounts of weight while on the medication.
Multiple Hollywood celebrities have confirmed that they have used the drug while others denied it.
Following the celebrity's paths, common people are also using Ozempic for drastic weight loss in a shorter span of time without knowing its deadly effect.
Multiple experts often issue warnings about the deadly effect of Ozempic.
Dr Terry revealed to TLC, "If you’re going to go on the Ozempic-type drugs and you get intestinal pain, you get stomach bloating, you get paid, you drink alcohol with this, you’re predisposed to intestinal obstruction and pancreatitis."
However, Ozempic has also been linked to a myriad of unwanted or unsightly side effects, such as excessive and putrid belching, diarrhea, and sagging skin.
