Sharon Osbourne has reflected on the uncompromising side-effects of controversial weight-loss drug Ozempic after losing more than 30Ibs while using it over a four month period.
The so-called 'miracle' drug was originally marketed to treat Type-2 diabetes, but has seen a spike in popularity over recent months due to its remarkable impact on weight-loss.
Public figures including actress Amy Schumer and Twitter CEO Elon Musk have previously admitted to using the drug, but Osbourne, 70, says regular use comes with an associated risk.
'It’s different for everybody, but for me, the first few weeks was f***ing s**t because you just throw up all the time. You feel so nauseous,' the former X Factor panellist told the Club Random with Bill Maher podcast.
She added: 'After a couple of weeks, it goes, and then you’re just fine, you feel nothing. Just not hungry.'
While Osbourne avoided naming Ozempic directly, she quipped that it was the "the f***ing injection everybody takes,' prompting host Maher to refer to it as 'The Olympic.'
The TV personality admitted a lifelong struggle with her weight initially led to her the drug, but insisted she is no longer using it.
'Your stomach shrinks, and you change,' she said. 'I've been on it since December, but I came off it a couple of months ago.'
Speaking in May, Osbourne revealed she dropped 30 pounds over the course of four months after using the jabs, but felt nauseous everyday and insisted it was not a 'quick fix'.
During a discussion on US chat show The Talk, the TV personality shared her first-hand experience of the drug, after it was announced that its launch in the UK had been put on pause.

I’ve never known Sharon Osborne to be heavy.......her daughter however......
I read that as 301 pounds. I was thinking, “Holy crap! How fat did she get?”
Then I re read it…
Heavy Metal......................
same thing recently kinda happened to me. My dosage was increased from .25 to .50.
I ended up with a gastro-intestinal challenge for about 15 days.
It was like going thru a colonoscopy prep. I also threw up anything i ate for a couple of days.
I was ok with eggs and meat, but other stuff ? forget it...out it came somewhere.
got thru it...finally. tuff playing golf wearing a diaper.
When her daughter dropped the weight, she was very cute. You know, aside from the tats.
The doc added Ozempic about 6 weeks ago. I quickly lost another 10 and my lab numbers are great.
It did make me very queasy for the first few weeks. I got the unique experience of poking in a trash can at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
I'm feeling great now and losing 2 lbs per week.
Should be “puking”
Ozempic? How much does it cost?
Free from the VA with my disability care.
Thanks for that. I have Type 2 also and am on metformin. I lost about 40 lbs through diet and exercise in the last 2 years but I have hit a wall and was considering talking to my doctor about Ozempic.
I've been on it for a while for diabetes and luckily my plan only requires a small copay. I've never had any noteworthy side effects...but I have had some weight loss.
Bats are fattening.
Unless you get them from a Wuhan wet market
