Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood, with stars either admitting to using the diabetes drug to lose weight or outright denying it.
Semaglutide is sold under the brand names Ozempic and Rybelsus as an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
It is also sold under the brand name Wegovy as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management.
The drugs act like a hormone in the brain that makes people feel less hungry and slows the elimination of food from the stomach, which stimulates weight loss.
Ozempic and Wegovy have gained popularity since they became the first medications proven to help with weight loss.
Celebrities such as Elon Musk, Remi Bader, Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer revealed that they used the drug to help reduce fat.
