A celebrity doctor has claimed that a popular over the counter medication is actually 'the most dangerous drug you can take'.

Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow has given a warning against the medication, calling it ‘dangerous’ and pointing out how it can lead to liver failure.

This comes as the famed plastic surgeon, who is married to Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow, spoke about the recent boost in the use of Ozempic and similar drugs, explaining that he’s used them himself as they’ve ‘been around for years and completely tested'.

Ozempic is a drug used for weight loss and diabetes, and has been used by celebrities such as Amy Schumer and Oprah Winfrey to aid quicker weight loss.

Speaking exclusively to US Weekly, Dr. Dubrow said that the side effects of Ozempic are ‘absolutely worth it’ as some users have experienced nausea when taking the weight loss medication.

He even went as far as to call it a ‘medical breakthrough’, as while the medication was originally used for diabetes, he says it’s also great for rapid weight loss with the correct dosage.

The doctor revealed he used Mounjaro, which is similar to Ozempic, and while he only experienced some nausea, he soon stopped taking it because he 'wanted to eat again'.

While Dr. Dubrow praised the use of Ozempic and other weight loss meds, he made his feelings about a common painkiller very clear and claimed it is one of the most 'dangerous' drugs you can take.

"I have news for you. Tylenol is more dangerous than these drugs," he claimed to the outlet.

"Tylenol is one of the most dangerous drugs you can take."

"In fact, there's been an epidemic of liver failure from Tylenol," he continued. "So, the FDA has put out a thing about, 'Do not let your patients take this much Tylenol'."

According to the Mayo Clinic, taking too much acetaminophen - which Tylenol contains - is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the US.

The FDA recommends following the dosage instructions accurately, and state: “FDA and industry have taken action to protect consumers from the risk of severe liver damage, which can result from taking too much acetaminophen.

"All manufacturers of prescription combination drug products with more than 325 milligrams (mg) of acetaminophen per tablet, capsule, or other dosage unit have discontinued marketing these products.”
