But Handler noted that while trying the drug, she didn't like the way it felt.

I'm taking Ozempic.'' And I said, “I… I feel kind of nauseous,” I thought. But I had just returned from Spain and was jet-lagged. ”
Ultimately, Handler added, he stopped using it because it wasn't medically necessary, and gave the rest of his supply to a friend.
“I've injected four or five friends with Ozempic because I realized they didn't want to use it because it was stupid,” she said. “This is for heavy people. When people come to your house, you're like, 'Okay, I'll see you at 1, I'll see you at 2.'
