A very graphic simulation has showed what Ozempic can do to your body, and it's not pretty.
We've all seen online how much weight people are losing from taking Ozempic. However, the actual purpose of the drug is not to take numbers off scale.
According to the Ozempic website, they state that it 'is not a weight loss drug' and instead 'a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes.'

Ozempic comes in the form of an injectable prescription medicine, which is supposed to be used 'along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults with type 2 diabetes.'
It's also used to 'reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2 diabetes with known heart disease.'
But the way it works is that it curbs your appetite and makes you less hungry.
And because you are eating less, if you pair that with exercise, you'll end up being in a calorie deficit, which makes you consume less calories than you burn off. As a result, you lose weight.

But if you want to see an actual visualisation of what that looks like, the reliable Zack D. Films has got you covered.
Over on YouTube, the content creator has shared a simulation video of what sort of side effects come with taking Ozempic medication, often prescribed once a week in different doses.
"Once Ozempic is in your bloodstream, it activates the parts of the brain that make you feel full, reducing your appetite," he said in the clip.
"It also stabilises your blood sugar, stopping sudden cravings.

"Then it slows down how fast your stomach empties food, which keeps you feeling full for longer after a meal.
"This causes you to lose weight as you eat less.
"But it can make some people feel sick and even give them diarrhoea."
In the last scene of the simulation, the YouTuber then displays a graphic visualisation of the Ozempic user, quite literally, s**ting themselves.

People were not prepared for it, as one viewer commented: "Last scene was NOT NEEDED Zack."
"OMG THE LAST SCENE WAS SUCH A SURPRISE STOP," a second said.
While a third joked: "Tbh, watching Zack’s animations make me lose my appetite more than Ozempic."
"Zack’s never ending love for poop or diarrhea never ends," another fan of his added.
