Singer Avery fights back tears as she reveals the devastating disease she developed after taking Ozempic for a year, leaving fans in shock.
A shocking diagnosis after using Ozempic
American singer-songwriter Avery, whose real name is Anna Iannitelli, recently revealed a serious health issue.
She shared that she was diagnosed with osteoporosis after taking Ozempic for a year without a prescription.
Ozempic is an injectable medication primarily approved for type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood sugar by increasing insulin production.
However, many people have started using it off-label for weight loss.
Avery shares her experience with Ozempic
In a recent Instagram video, Avery fought back tears as she spoke about her diagnosis. She explained that she had stopped taking Ozempic two months ago and went for a health checkup.
The results left her in shock. Doctors told her she had osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them prone to fractures.
She admitted she never expected this outcome after only a year of use.
“I have significant bone loss,”
she said. “I made a mistake. I take responsibility for my actions. Please learn from mine.”
The risks of using Ozempic without a prescription
Wegovy, a higher-dose version of Ozempic, is authorized for weight loss, while Ozempic is not approved for this purpose.
Despite this, many people access Ozempic without a prescription.
Avery admitted she obtained Ozempic easily and acknowledged struggling with an eating disorder.
She emphasized that people should take the medication only under medical supervision and urged her followers to be cautious.
Clarifying her stance on Ozempic
In a follow-up video, Avery clarified she wasn’t trying to demonize Ozempic. Instead, she wanted to raise awareness about the potential risks of misusing the drug.
She emphasized that while some patients may benefit from Ozempic, they should never use it without proper medical guidance.
Novo Nordisk responds to the controversy
Novo Nordisk, the company behind Ozempic, issued a statement addressing Avery’s claims. They reaffirmed that Ozempic is not approved for weight loss and should only be used under medical supervision.
A spokesperson stated:
“We strongly recommend that all patients stay in close contact with their healthcare professional for proper diagnosis, ongoing guidance, and careful monitoring.”
They warned that obtaining prescription medications without a doctor’s approval can pose serious health risks.
The importance of medical supervision
Avery’s story highlights the dangers of using Ozempic without proper oversight. While it may help with diabetes management, off-label use can lead to unexpected health consequences.
She now plans to start a treatment plan to manage her condition. Her message to followers remains clear—be careful and consult a doctor before taking any prescription medication.
