During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania revealed she that she has taken Ozempic.

After Andy commented that Dolores looked "thin", he proceeded to ask her if she'd taken Ozempic. Catania responded in affirmation and also claimed that almost all housewives have taken the weight-loss drug. Defending her decision, she said:

“I wasn't gonna come to reunion looking any bigger than anyone else, so I got on the bandwagon.”

After this, Andy asked Dolores if there are any side effects of using Ozempic, and she mentioned, “No, just not hungry.”

As reported by Forbes Health:

“Ozempic is an FDA-approved prescription medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes and is proven to lower hemoglobin A1C, a measure of blood glucose over time, according to research cited on Ozempic’s site. It also helps adults with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease lower their risk for cardiovascular events like stroke or heart attack.”

The use of Ozempic as a weight loss drug has been a topic of debate in recent times, and many netizens took to social media to criticize Catania's confession.
