'Botched' Doctor Explains Why He Stopped Using Ozempic
HuffPost
Dubrow is among a handful of Hollywood types ― including Oprah Winfrey and Sharon Osbourne ― who have spoken about their own experiences with a weight loss drug.
“Botched” doctor Terry Dubrow is getting candid about his own Ozempic use.
The semaglutide medication, once only reserved for people with Type 2 diabetes, is nothing short of a “miracle” when it comes to weight loss, Dubrow said in an interview with Page Six published last week.
“I’ve tried it. I thought it was amazing,” he said of the off-label weight loss drug, while admitting he “didn’t have that much weight to lose.”
“But I wanted to try it because so many of my patients were on it, and I wanted to see what it was like when you’re not diabetic and you only have 10-15 pounds to lose,” Dubrow added.
While he said Ozempic was “the biggest breakthrough in medical history,” he encountered a few roadblocks that made him stop taking the drug.
