Kelly Clarkson Clears Up Misinformation Regarding Ozempic Speculation Following Weight Loss
Ozempic had a serious impact on the comedian. Handler shared that her “anti-aging doctor” prescribed her the medication without knowing its true nature.
“I didn’t even realize I was taking it,” she admitted on the Jan. 25, 2023 episode of Call Her Daddy. “She mentioned, ‘If you ever want to lose five pounds, this could help.'”
Although she gave the drug a shot, Handler didn’t appreciate how it made her feel.
“After returning from a trip, I administered the injection to myself,” she remembered. “A few days later, I met a friend for lunch who mentioned feeling nauseous as she was also on Ozempic. That’s when I noticed I was feeling the same, but I attributed it to jet lag after coming back from Spain.”
In the end, Handler discontinued the use of the drug since it wasn’t medically necessary for her. She mentioned giving away the remaining doses to friends.
“I’ve injected around four or five of my friends with Ozempic, as I realized it was unnecessary for me,” she explained. “It’s meant for people struggling with weight issues. I’d have friends coming over, and I’d schedule them at different times.”
