Amy Schumer on How Weight Loss Drug Mounjaro Is Changing Her Life

Amy Schumer is taking her fans on her journey of using Mounjaro, a drug primarily used to treat Type 2 diabetes but doctors also prescribe it for weight loss. The star recently took to Instagram to share her great experience using the medication, which has been drastically different from a previous drug she took years ago. The comedian expressed her desire to “keep it a hundred” with her fans about her weight loss and perimenopause journey.

Schumer recorded her video while driving her car, sharing that she tried losing weight using a drug named Wegovy three years ago. However, the experience only left her with unpleasant symptoms, including puking. She claimed not being able to “handle it.” Schumer then recalled going to a telehealth meeting in a bid to try their plan out and recommend it to her friends. 

Amy Schumer further confessed to having been put on two hormones — estrogen and progesterone — to tackle her perimenopause symptoms. The comedian revealed that these medicines, combined with Mounjaro, made the experience a whole lot better. The star continued, “My symptoms from being in perimenopause have disappeared. My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more if you know what I mean – I’m talking about sex.” 

Meanwhile, Amy Schumer also clarified that insurance doesn’t cover the drug Mounjaro unless one has diabetes or severe obesity. She then quipped, “which most of the Internet thinks I have.” She confessed to having “a really good experience” with her medications and wanted to keep her fans in the loop.
