TikTok Star Arrested for Allegedly Illegally Selling Misbranded Ozempic
Ozempic is no joking matter for the comedian. Handler shared on Jan. 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy that her “anti-aging doctor” prescribed the medication to her without her knowledge.
“I didn’t even know I was taking it,” she admitted. “She said, ‘If you ever want to lose five pounds, this is a good option.'”
Although she tried the medication, Handler mentioned that she didn’t enjoy the way it made her feel.
“After injecting myself with it following a vacation, I met up with a friend for lunch a few days later,” she remembered. “She mentioned feeling nauseous and attributed it to Ozempic. I also felt a bit queasy but dismissed it as jet lag from my trip to Spain.”
In the end, Handler stopped using the medication as it wasn’t medically necessary for her. She even gave away the remaining doses to her friends.
“I ended up injecting four or five of my friends with Ozempic because I realized it wasn’t right for me,” she admitted. “It’s meant for overweight individuals. I had people visiting my home, and I found myself scheduling them at different times.”
