Amy Schumer Details Severe Side Effects from Ozempic Use

The comedian revealed she lost 30 pounds quickly but experienced debilitating nausea and exhaustion, leading her to stop using the medication.

Amy Schumer shared on 'Howard Stern Show' that she stopped using Ozempic after experiencing extreme nausea and lethargy, leaving her bedridden.
Schumer attributed her adverse reaction to a gene, GDF15, that makes her highly prone to nausea, which also caused severe sickness during her pregnancy.
Despite losing 30 pounds rapidly and feeling she 'looked great,' Schumer said the side effects made the drug 'unlivable' for her as she couldn't engage in daily activities or play with her son.
The comedian criticized celebrities who deny using weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, urging them to be transparent about their methods.
Ozempic, originally designed for Type 2 diabetes, has gained popularity as a weight-loss drug, though it commonly causes side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.
