Once the TikToker went off the drug, it caused a cycle of “bad binging.”
“I saw a doctor, and they were like, ‘It’s 100 percent because you went on Ozempic,'” the 27-year-old continued. “It was making me think I wasn’t hungry for so long. I lost some weight. I didn’t want to be obsessed with being on it long term. I was like, ‘I bet the second I got off I’m going to get starving again.’ I did, and my binging got so much worse. So then I kind of blamed Ozempic.”
At the time, when E! News reached out for comment, a rep for Novo Nordisk said Ozempic is “not approved for chronic weight management.” The brand’s statement said it’s intended to treat type 2 diabetes, improve blood sugar and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events for adults with the condition.
