A doctor has issues an urgent warning on 'Ozempic breast' after Kelly Clarkson opened up about her weight loss journey.

The 42-year-old 'Since U Been Gone' singer spoke about her weight loss journey on a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show following rumours that she's been taking the controversial weight loss drug, Ozempic.

Now, for some context, Ozempic is a medicine intended to treat people suffering with type two diabetes.

However, many people associate it with weight loss thanks to its active ingredient, semaglutide, which can help regulate your appetite.

Quashing the speculation, she explained on her talk show: "My doctor chased me for like two years and I was like, 'No, I'm afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems,'"

"Everybody thinks it Ozempic. It's not.

"It's something else, but it's something that aids in helping break down the sugar—obviously my body doesn't do it right.

"I ended up having to do that, because my blood work got so bad."

Well, that settles that then.

But, for those other celebs and other people alike, there are some pretty major side effects you should be aware of with the latest alarming one being 'Ozempic breast'.

What is 'Ozempic breast'?

Ian Budd, medical expert and pharmacist for Chemist4U told Tyla that 'Ozempic breast' is not a medical term.

However, it is still a term people are using to 'refer to breast changes they may experience while taking the weight loss and diabetes medication Ozempic or Wegovy (semaglutide)'.

What are the key signs of 'Ozempic breast'?

Ian tells us: "The key signs to look out for are unexpected breast changes, such as changes in size, shape and appearance.

"This happens primarily due to the weight loss itself rather than a specific side effect of semaglutide. As breasts contain a lot of fatty tissue, you may notice a difference in breast size and appearance as you begin to lose weight."

This apparently also works like 'Ozempic face' where you lose weight in the facial area.

What are the other side effects of Ozempic?

The expert explains that the other side effects of semaglutide include; nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and decreased appetite.

"Semaglutide helps control your blood sugar, keeps you fuller for longer, and reduces your appetite," Ian adds.

"This can change your eating and relationship with food, ultimately enabling you to lose weight."

He also warns that semaglutide should not be given to pregnant or breastfeeding women to prevent exposure of semaglutide to the baby.

"We recommend that anyone using semaglutide to ensure that they have adequate contraception in place," Ian adds.

Well, the more you know - eh?
