Singer Avery Warns Against Ozempic Use After Osteoporosis Diagnosis

A rising singer, Avery, has publicly disclosed a serious health scare after claiming to have used Ozempic, a medication not intended solely for weight loss. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Avery revealed she was diagnosed with osteoporosis, attributing her condition to her use of the drug.

In her video, Avery appeared visibly distressed as she explained, “I’ve done a lot of damage to myself.” She detailed her medical diagnosis, stating she had “significant bone density loss, osteoporosis and osteopenia” after using Ozempic for a year. Avery emphasized that she had been “off Ozempic for two months” when she visited her doctor for a routine check-up, only to receive the devastating news.

Avery shared that her troubles began after her record label labeled her as “fat,” leading to her being dropped from the label. This prompted her to turn to Ozempic, initially intended to treat diabetes and obesity, but not as a weight loss solution. “I say I’m from Liverpool because my friends say I’m an adopted Scouser but I’m not actually from Liverpool but I’m not having anyone say I’m not Scouse,” she explained in a separate Instagram post, shedding light on her personal struggles and the pressures that led to her use of the medication.

In her Instagram caption, Avery urged caution, stating, “Please please please be careful with Ozempic if you are not someone that needs to take it (it is only meant to treat diabetes and obesity). I’ve done a lot of damage to myself.” She took full responsibility for her actions and appealed to her followers to learn from her experience. “I take responsibility for my actions and beg you to learn from them,” Avery added, assuring her fans that she is now seeking medical treatment and starting a recovery plan.

Avery concluded her message with a note of hope: “It is not always reversible, but I can do things to improve the situation. At the moment I have to be very careful, as my bones are brittle. But it is treatable, and I will be okay.”

In response to Avery’s public statements, pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, issued a statement to the Daily Star. They clarified, “Ozempic is not licensed for the treatment of weight loss.” The company emphasized that Ozempic is a prescription-only medicine intended for adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, to be used alongside diet and exercise or as monotherapy when metformin is unsuitable. “Novo Nordisk does not condone, suggest, or encourage misuse of any of our medicines outside of their approved indications,” the statement read.

Novo Nordisk further advised, “Patients must make any decisions about treatment together with their healthcare professional so that their doctor can assess whether it is appropriate to prescribe the medicine or not, based on their assessment of the patient’s individual medical profile.” They warned that “accessing prescription-only medication without a prescription” or without proper medical supervision “could pose a direct danger to health.”

Avery’s revelation highlights the potential dangers of misusing prescription medications and underscores the importance of following medical advice. Her experience serves as a cautionary tale for fans and the general public about the risks associated with using drugs like Ozempic without appropriate medical supervision.

As Avery continues her journey towards recovery, her openness about her struggles aims to raise awareness about the responsible use of medications and the serious consequences that can arise from their misuse.
