Doctor issues serious warning on 'Ozempic butt' as numerous celebrities speak out on drug

'Ozempic butt' has left many users dealing with an unwanted physical side effect

As the list of stars who have openly admitted to dabbing in the controversial drug Ozempic continues to grow, a medic has issued a stark warning about one of the injection's most unspoken of physical side effects that it seems most celebs don't want to discuss - 'Ozempic butt'.

Ozempic was originally intended as a means of managing the effects of Type II diabetes, with its main ingredient semaglutide designed to reduce the user's appetite, and can induce both nausea and vomiting.

The dubious drug's popularity has particularly surged due to the amount of huge-name stars who have recently debuted their newly-trimmed physics, crediting the drug for its assistance.

That said, however, many celebrities have also used their platforms as a means of raising awareness of the downsides of Ozempic use.

Amy Schumer told Andy Cohen last year that, though she was initially pleased by the results, she stopped when she began 'too sick' to play with her infant son.

And Sharon Osbourne previously claimed that the injectable caused her BMI to drop dramatically, as well as having severe nausea which lasted 'a couple of months'.

One of the other, largely unaddressed physical aspects of rapid weight loss, however, sees a severe sagging of skin - something only a handful of stars have addressed whilst discussing the drug.

Tyla previously reported on the concerning rise in 'Ozempic breast' which - despite not being considered a medical term - refers to changes to the breast area as a result of taking taken the drug.

Similarly, 'Ozempic butt' refers to the flattening or sagging of your buttock area after injecting yourself for several months.

According to medics at WebMD, users are likely to notice considerably less fat in their backside, where there once was a curve.

The skin may also appear deflated, with the skin sagging to the lower portion of the bum.

In other cases, Ozempic users may suffer a lipodystrophy, a condition where fat goes to other places in your body.

Whilst it's not known as 'Ozempic butt' in the medical world, it can be officially titled 'buttock ptosis', which describes gluteal tissue dropping below the crease between your legs and butt.

While we're not advocating taking Ozempic unless medically prescribed, doctors say there is something you can to do prevent your bum fat from being affected.

You could ask your doctor how best to temper your weight loss so it isn't so drastic.

Medics also suggest that you drink lots of water in a bid to increase the amount of moisture in your skin, and prioritise nutrition by ensuring your still consuming the amount of calories required to stay healthy, even when your appetite is low.

Regular exercise is also imperative in order to endure muscles stay toned, appear tighter and retain skin strength.

In a statement to TYLA, a spokesperson for Novo Nordisk said: "Ozempic® (semaglutide) is a prescription only medicine indicated for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise (as monotherapy or in combination with other medicines for treatment of diabetes).

"However, regarding safety, the most common adverse events among people treated with Ozempic® (semaglutide injection) for its indicated use, are gastrointestinal events including nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. Most events were transient, and mild or moderate in severity and resolved without permanent treatment discontinuation."
