STEPHEN Fry's 'astonishing' weight loss from diabetes jab Ozempic came at a steep price, as the actor revealed it left him vomiting multiple times a day.that can make users shed weight by dulling food cravings, the 66-year-old said he was initially amazed by the results.
According to Novo Nordisk, common side effects from diabetes drug Ozempic include nausea and vomiting, as well as stomach pain, diarrhoea and constipation. In March 2023, the NHS announced it would make Wegovy, a drug made by Danish firm Novo Nordisk, available on prescription to thousands of obese Brits.
To do this, an ingredient found in the fat-busting drug, known as Semaglutide, mimics the role of a natural hormone, called GLP-1. So Novo Nordisk developed Wegovy, which contains the same chemical but at higher doses specifically to aid weight loss.The NHS currently also offers a similar drug called Saxenda, or liraglutide.
