Kate Moss’ Sister Lottie Was Hospitalized After Misusing Ozempic: 'Worst Decision I Ever Made'

After getting the medication "below board" without a proper prescription, Lottie said she "never felt so sick in my life"

Lottie Moss is getting candid about a scary experience she had taking Ozempic.

The 26-year-old model, who is Kate Moss' younger half-sister, opened up about why she decided to take the diabetes drug that's become a popular weight-loss aid on the Thursday, Sept. 12 edition of her Dream On podcast.

"I'm not going to lie to you guys. I definitely tried it. A few months ago I was not feeling happy with my weight," confessed Moss.

"I had a friend, and she could get it for me. It was kind of below board. I'm not going to lie," she said. "It was from a doctor, but it wasn't like you go into a doctor's office and he prescribes it for you, he takes your blood pressure and takes tests, which is what you need when you go on something like Ozempic."

Moss expressed that while it is "not really meant for weight loss of people that aren't of a very large size," the amount she was taking "was actually meant for people who are 100 kilos [220 lbs.] and over, and I'm in the 50s [110 lbs.] range."

"It's these small things that I wish I'd known before taking it," she said, noting that she injected it into her leg instead of her stomach to feel "less sick."

"It was the worst decision I ever made, so if this is a warning to anyone, please, if you’re thinking about doing it, do not take it. Like, it’s so not worth it. I would rather die at any day than take that again," said Moss.

In addition to having "not a healthy drop" in weight, the podcast host said she would throw up, feel "so nauseous," and had "never felt so sick in my life" for the two weeks she was on the medication.

Then, she needed to be hospitalized.

"I felt so sick one day. I said to my friend, 'I can’t keep any water down. I can’t keep any food down, no liquids, nothing. I need to go to the hospital. I feel really sick, ' " she recalled.

Moss said that her eyes were "almost concaving in" when she and he friend made it to the emergency room at 3:00 a.m.

She met with a nurse who told her that she was taking the incorrect amount of Ozempic and ended up having a seizure as a result of how dehydrated she was after being transferred to another area of the hospital.

"Which honestly was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me in my life," she added, issuing a message to her fans.

"I hope by me talking about this and kind of saying my experience with it, it can be a lesson to some people that it's so not worth it. It's for diabetes, it's not for weight loss, really," she said, encouraging her supporting to "be happy with your weight."
