Actress says she landed in hospital after taking Ozempic: ‘I felt like I was dying’

If you’re thinking about taking Ozempic, one actress’ claims might be cause for a pause.

Lisandra Silva says she faced complications after taking the drug for weight loss and found herself in the hospital as a result.

Last Friday, the Cuban actress and influencer turned to Instagram to post a video about her experience with the FDA-approved prescription medication aimed for people who suffer from type 2 diabetes.

The “Alvin and the Chipmunks” actress detailed the not-so-positive experience after taking the medication, which has become popular weight loss method for many in and outside of Hollywood.

“How low did Ozempic go?” Silva wrote. “Do you know who recommended it to me: A doctor, and I tell you I put it on once to try it, because they talked about it so much and I ended up in the hospital. My sugar dropped so much that I had to call the children’s daddy when I felt like I was passing out & my kids were asleep next to me.”

“Thank God nothing happened but I felt like I was dying and ended up at the clinic in a wheelchair,” she added for her 2 million Instagram followers.

Even though the 37-year-old avoided elaborating the reason she was hospitalized, Silva – who shares son Noah and daughter Leiah with ex Raúl Peralta – seemingly quit the medication and chose a healthier lifestyle that includes working out and incorporating fruits and vegetables into her diet.

In her latest social media post, the actress showcased before and after photos of the progress her newly, toned body has made.

“My OZEMPIC IS: Ayurveda Diet, Meditation, Exercise in Nature! Discipline, Determination, Mental Toughness, and Clear Goals! Health of the mind, body and heart!” she shared. “Please listen to my advice! There is nothing like a healthy lifestyle! DON’T MAKE IT UP!”
