WOW - this is great news!
“GLP-1 drugs...may help prevent multiple substance use disorders – and reduce the tragic outcomes they cause, a large new study finds.” Investigators “looked at electronic health records from more than 600,000 U.S. Veterans Affairs patients with diabetes.” The researchers “found that those treated with” GLP-1 medications “were less likely to develop addictions to alcohol, ni****ne, co***ne, opioids and other substances than those treated with a different class of drugs.” Among “those already addicted, the GLP-1 drugs were linked to lower risks of hospitalization, overdose and death, according to the study.”
