Amy Schumer Details Severe Ozempic Side Effects, Stops Use

Amy Schumer recently shared her challenging experience with the weight-loss drug Ozempic, which she began using nearly three years ago. The comedian suffered severe side effects, including extreme nausea and vomiting, due to her genetic predisposition linked to the GDF15 gene, which makes her particularly susceptible to such reactions. Despite losing 30 pounds while on the medication, Schumer felt too ill to engage with her son and expressed frustration over the negative impact on her energy levels. During appearances on The Howard Stern Show and other platforms, she criticized the misleading portrayal of Ozempic's effects by other celebrities, calling it a 'red flag.' Aside from her weight-loss struggles, Schumer also addressed body image issues stemming from social media commentary and her diagnosis of Cushing syndrome. Her revelations have sparked broader discussions about the use of Ozempic as a weight-loss solution among Hollywood stars.
