Kate Moss’ model sister Lottie used weight loss drug Ozempic, then had a seizure after dash to hospital

Lottie Moss was rushed to hospital after injecting herself with an Ozempic pen given to her by a friend who obtained it “below board from a doctor”.

The model, who is Kate Moss’s half-sister, was violently ill, suffering a seizure and severe dehydration after taking the drug when she weighed around 60kg.

The 26-year-old said she would rather ‘die’ than use Ozempic again.

The drug is usually used to treat type 2 diabetes but can also be used for weight loss.

She told her Dream On podcast she weighed approximately 60kg before she dropped to 57kg following her first dose and was 53kg at her lowest, which is just over 8st.

She said: “I would rather die any day than take it again. It made me feel so nauseous. I took it for two weeks. It comes with a pen and different doses, you take one injection one week, one injection the next week... I’ve never felt sicker in my life.”

She described it as the “worst decision” she has ever made, adding: “This is a warning to anyone, please if you’re thinking about doing it, do not take it.

“It’s so not worth it. I took it for two weeks and I’ve never felt so sick in my whole life.

“I felt so sick, I said to my friend I can’t keep any water down, any food, any liquids. I feel so sick, I need to go to the hospital, I feel really sick.

“We’re waiting in the ER, it’s taking forever, we go and see one of the nurses and she asked [what] dose I have taken.

“And she said, ‘Oh my god, that’s not what you’re supposed to be taking’.

“She asked how much weight I had dropped and she sent me to the emergency room and I got wheelchaired [there].

“As soon as I got into the room I had a seizure.

“It was the scariest thing that’s ever happened to me. I hope by me talking about this it can be a lesson for some people.

“All of these celebrities are on it right now. Where did the body positivity go?”

Ms Moss has spoken in the past about growing up in the “toxic” fashion industry and the time she spent in rehab for drug addiction.

She started modelling aged 16 after being scouted when she was 13 and said she always felt like she was living in her sister’s shadow.

In her 90s heyday, Kate Moss became the poster girl for ‘heroin chic’ due to her slim figure and her phrase “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”, which she now regrets.

In a new Disney+ documentary, she revealed the abuse she faced for her ‘skinny’ aesthetic, explaining: “Parents would come up to me and say, ‘My daughter’s anorexic.’ It was awful.”

Ozempic and similar drugs mimic the action of a hormone called GLP-1 to reduce appetite and have been popularised by a host of celebrities – including X boss Elon Musk – for their weight-loss potential.

The drugs also cause the stomach to empty more slowly. When the weight-loss properties of Ozempic were first revealed, there was a surge in off-label prescriptions to dieters, which has led to a global shortage.

While Ozempic’s manufacturer Novo Nordisk went on to develop Wegovy as a weight-loss alternative with the same key ingredient, semaglutide, supply difficulties have remained.

This is proving particularly problematic for those with type 2 diabetes who need Ozempic to help regulate their blood sugar.

Ozempic is available on the NHS for diabetics, while patients wanting Wegovy must be on specialist weightloss programmes and have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30.

But there are growing concerns that people are bypassing the strict criteria by obtaining private prescriptions online, often without full medical consultations.

Pharmacists also recently warned of an ‘explosion’ of fake jabs fuelled by the demand.

The National Pharmacy Association has urged would-be slimmers and diabetics struggling to obtain the medication to first speak to their pharmacist or GP – and use only regulated providers when buying privately.
