TikTok will take action against influencers who promote popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy. The platform will prohibit ‘before-and-after’ photos and restrict minors from accessing weight loss content related to medication or extreme practices. The move aims to prevent content that could promote unhealthy weight management behaviors.
Former adult movie actor Mia Khalifa has admitted to using Ozempic, a prescription drug used to manage blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, for weight loss. In response to a social media user’s comment praising her physique, Khalifa stated that she had purchased breast implants and was taking Ozempic.
Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, which is also used off-label for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy. Other celebrities who have spoken about their experiences with Ozempic include Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, Amy Schumer, and Tracy Morgan.
Medical weight loss doctor Sue Decotiis believes that the drug’s popularity is justified due to its effectiveness in helping people lose weight and improve their overall health.
