New Study: Diabetes Drugs Show Promise in Preventing Addictions
A groundbreaking study suggests that popular diabetes drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro could also help prevent addictions. Researchers found that veterans with diabetes on these GLP-one drugs had lower risks of developing substance use disorders compared to those on other medications. The risks dropped significantly for alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, nicotine, and opioid addictions. For patients already dealing with addictions, the benefits were even more pronounced, with reduced emergency room visits, hospitalizations, suicidal thoughts, overdose risk, and mortality rates. Experts hail this as a potential game-changer, but more research is needed to confirm the effects before wider use.
