Like with any medication, Ozempic can have inflict some unwanted side effects on those who take it.
But a lot of people using the diabetes drug to aid weight loss aren't too clued up on the irreversible impacts it can have on your body.
After taking Ozempic for just one year, US singer Avery has come out to say that doctors have informed her why she has been left 'in pain all the time'.
In an emotional video shared to Instagram, the musician - best known for songs such as 'Meant to Live' and 'Go Screw Yourself' - revealed that she has osteoporosis.
She explained that she was knocked for six when medics informed her that she had the condition, which normally affects people in later life.

The 30-year-old, from Phoenix, Arizona, said she was sharing the news with her hundreds of thousands of social media followers to 'be an example of why you need to be careful'.
Avery added: "It's become very normalised, but it's really dangerous. I just can't believe I did that damage to myself."
In another message shared with her supporters, she explained that she was not prescribed Ozempic from a medical professional, which she described as a 'mistake'.
"I will be going on medication and starting a treatment plan," the singer went on, as per the Daily Mail. "I will know more soon. It is not always reversible, but I can do things to improve the situation.
"At the moment I have to be very careful, as my bones are brittle. But it is treatable, and I will be okay. Thank you for support."
For those who aren't aware, osteoporosis is a medical term which describes weakening bones, which puts sufferers at the risk of routine breaks as their bones are so fragile.
Ostepenia, on the other hand, refers to a decrease in bone density - and unfortunately, health experts say that both of these conditions can't be reversed.
There is still treatment and support available, while those diagnosed can also take steps to slow the impact of them down.
According to the NHS, treatment for osteoporosis revolves around tending to and preventing broken bones, while also taking medicine to strengthen your skeleton.
Prevention is better than cure, as they say, so if you're at risk of developing this long-term condition, UK health providers recommend keeping your bones in the best nick that you can.
The jury is still out on whether Ozempic does cause osteoporosis, as medical expert Doctor Myro explained that there is 'currently no evidence' that the drug is linked to the condition.
"It is a disease of skinny people, less body weight, less pressure on the bones, less bone density," he explained, adding that when you lose weight in any capacity, you also lose some bone too, along with muscle.
He said shedding the pounds without 'weight training and proper nutrition with lots of protein' is a 'huge mistake'.
So, what are the signs of osteoporosis that you should look out for - just in case?
According to the NHS, the condition usually ' develops slowly over several years' and people only realise they have it 'when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break'.
Osteoporosis sufferers commonly endure injuries such as a broken wrist, a broken or fractured hip and broken bones in your spine - but breaks may also occur in other areas, such as your arms or your pelvis.

Osteoporosis is not usually painful until a bone is broken, but broken bones in the spine are a common cause of long-term pain.
"Although a broken bone is often the first sign of osteoporosis, some older people develop the characteristic stooped (bent forward) posture.
"It happens when the bones in the spine have broken, making it difficult to support the weight of the body. Osteoporosis can be treated with bone strengthening medicines."
Experts at Mayo Clinic say that although there are typically no prominent symptoms, there are some signs that you should look out for which could suggest your bones are weakening.
This includes back pain - which might be caused 'by a broken or collapsed bone in the spine' - as well as loss of height over time and a stooped posture.
