The name is a play on words on the drug that some claim has helped them shed weight in double-quick time.
A US baseball team has been accused of fat-shaming after it named its pig mascot after weight-loss drug Ozempic.
St Paul Saints chose Ozempig from nearly 2,300 names submitted by fans, joking that the pig was ashamed at gaining weight and had promised to slim down.
Ozempic is intended for diabetics but is sometimes prescribed for weight loss as it can help people feel fuller for longer.
It has become popular after being promoted by certain celebrities and influencers.
However, the Minnesota team’s selection didn’t go down with some on social media.
