Lottie Moss is warning her fans to avoid the popular weight loss drug, Ozempic, after she ended up in hospital

The young model said she ended up in the emergency room where she had a seizure, as a result of taking a high dose of Ozempic over two weeks.

The prescription drug made the 26-year-old incredibly ill and made her unable to keep food or water down without vomiting.

Now that she has recovered after her trip to the hospital, she’s taking to the internet to warn people against taking this ‘dangerous’ drug.

She told listeners on her Dream On with Lottie Moss podcast, that her seizure was brought on by severe dehydration and that her face and hands ended up clenching in what she has described as one of the ‘scariest’ moments she has encountered.

Having been seen by medical professionals she was informed that the dosage she was injecting into her leg would have been prescribed to someone who weighed at least 100kg.

She explained: “A few months ago, I was not feeling happy about my weight, I had a friend, and she could get it for me. It was below board, from a doctor, but it wasn’t like you go into a doctor’s office and he prescribes it for you, takes your blood pressure, and takes tests, which is what you need when you go on something like Ozempic.

“At the end of the day, it is a medication, it is dangerous and really meant for weight loss of people of a very large size.

“When I was taking it, the amount that I was taking was meant for people who are 100 kilos and over and I’m in the 50s range. It’s these small things I wish I’d known before taking it. But I took it, you inject it into your leg, and it was the worst decision I ever made.

“This is a warning to everyone. Please, if you’re thinking of taking it, do not take it, it’s so not worth it.”

She was around 60kg when she first went on Ozempic and dropped to 57 after her first dose.

She swiftly dropped to 53kg and started suffering from side effects like vomiting, loss of colour in the face, and dramatic weight loss.

She added: “I would rather die any day than take it again. It made me feel so nauseous. I took it for two weeks. It comes with a pen and different doses, you take one injection one week, one injection the next week and you take it every week, and I’ve never felt sicker in my life.

“I was throwing up, it was horrible. I took a lower dosage the first time I took it then I went up higher. I ended up being in bed for two days, felt so sick, my weight had dropped.”

Speaking about what happened that night, she said: “We went to ER at three in the morning, we go and see one of the nurses and she’s like ‘how much of a dose are you taking?’ I was like however much and she was like ‘Oh my god, that’s so not the amount you should be taking’. She asked how much weight I’d lost in two weeks and I told her.”

“She sent me to the emergency room, and I got wheel-chaired through the hospital. At one point, I went to the bathroom, and I felt really sick, I felt like I was going to pass out, I thought something was happening, I didn’t feel good.

“As soon as I got into the room where I was seen by another nurse, I literally had a seizure from how dehydrated I was, which was honestly one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me in my life.”

Lottie added: “‘My friend Reece had to hold my feet down and it was just so scary the whole situation, I didn’t know what was going on, my face was clenching up, my whole body was tense, my hands, it was so weird, your hands clench up and you can’t move them and it feels like you’re going to break your hand. It was honestly horrible.”
