Ozempic is no laughing matter for the comedian. Handler revealed her “anti-aging doctor” prescribed the medication without her realizing what the drug was.<\/p>\n
“I didn’t even know I was on it,” she said during the Jan. 25, 2023 episode of\u00a0Call Her Daddy<\/em>. “She said, ‘If you ever want to drop five pounds,\u00a0this is good.'”<\/p>\n But while she tried the drug, Handler noted that she didn’t like how it made her feel.<\/p>\n “I came back from a vacation and I injected myself with it,” she recalled. “I went to lunch with a girlfriend a few days later, and she was like, ‘I’m not really eating anything. I’m so nauseous, I’m on Ozempic.’ And I was like, ‘I’m kind of nauseous too.’ But I had just come back from Spain and was jet-lagged.”<\/p>\n Ultimately, Handler stopped using the drug\u00a0because it wasn’t medically necessary for her, adding that\u00a0she gave away the remaining doses to friends.<\/p>\n “I’ve injected about four or five of my friends with Ozempic, because I realized I didn’t want to use it because it was silly,” she said. “It’s for heavy people. I have people coming over to my house, and I’m like, ‘OK, I can see you at 1, I can see you at 2.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
