‘Worst decision I ever made’

Kate Moss’ sister issued a warning to anyone taking Ozempic after the English model was rushed to hospital.

Lottie, 26, admitted she took Ozempic for two weeks “a few months ago”.

At the time, she did not feel “happy” about her weight.

“I had a friend and she could get it for me,” Lottie explained during an episode of her “Dream On with Lottie Moss” podcast.

“It was a little bit lower… It was from a doctor, but it wasn’t like you go to the doctor’s office, and he gives you a prescription, takes your blood pressure and does tests, which is what you need when you’re on something like Ozempic .”

The British model admitted that Ozempic “wasn’t intended for the weight loss of people who are not a very large size”.

Ozempic, also known as semaglutide, was originally developed for patients with type 2 diabetes, but has been widely used for weight loss.

“When I was getting it, the amount I was getting was actually meant for people who are [220 pounds] and on, and I’m on [110] verse,” said Lottie.

“So it’s these little things I wish I knew before I got it.”

Lottie then encouraged listeners not to take Ozempic.

“When I tell you it was the worst decision I’ve ever made, so if this is a warning to anyone: Please, if you’re thinking about taking it, don’t take it, it’s not worth it,” Lottie said.

“I’d rather die any day than have it again. It made me feel so nauseous.”

After repeatedly throwing up, Lottie lost nearly 20 pounds.

“I think I started around [132 pounds]and I went down to [125 pounds] with the first dose, then I went down to like [119 pounds]. It was crazy. I think it was the lowest [116 pounds]. In terms of a few weeks, that’s not a healthy weight loss and that’s not a healthy drop.”

She continued, “When I was in bed for those two days, and it was kind of the end of it, and I just wanted to get off it — because it’s not like you can stop taking it, it’s not like a pill or something that you don’t take when you wake up in the morning, it’s in your system and it’s there.”

“I felt very sick one day and I said to my friend: “I can’t hold water, I can’t hold food, no liquids, nothing. I have to go to the hospital, I feel very ill.’

Lottie claimed she eventually paid a visit to the emergency room where the 26-year-old model had a seizure due to dehydration.
