Amy Schumer opens up on devastating Ozempic weight loss side effects that left her 'sick'

Amy Schumer has revealed what it was like on the weight loss drug Ozempic, urging other celebrities to be honest about their use of injections to shed the pounds. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Schumer explained she had taken the drug for weight loss last year, but had to stop after claiming it made her ill.

On the talk show, she told Cohen: "Like a year ago, I tried it," before admitting that she stopped taking the medication because of its side effects. "I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn't play with my son. I was so skinny and he's throwing a ball at me and [I couldn't]."

Schumer admitted that she was "immediately invested" in Ozempic when it first hit the market, but ultimately decided that using the injections just wasn't "liveable" for her. The Trainwreck star went on to blast celebrities who don't admit to using the drug, saying: "Everyone's like: 'Smaller portions'. Shut the f*** up. You're on Ozempic, or one of those things."
