GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic cut substance use disorder risks by up to 25% in veterans with type 2 diabetes, per a large U.S. study.
A large U.S. study of veterans with type 2 diabetes found that GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy were linked to lower risks of developing substance use disorders, including alcohol, nicotine, opioids, cocaine, and cannabis, with up to a 25% reduction in risk.
For those already addicted, the drugs were associated with significantly fewer emergency visits, hospitalizations, overdoses, and deaths.
Researchers suggest the drugs may reduce cravings by affecting the brain’s reward system, though they are not approved for addiction treatment and should not replace behavioral therapies.
