Study shows Ozempic, Wegovy may help curb alcohol intake
A study shows that diabetes and weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy may help reduce alcohol use. The drugs slow how fast alcohol enters the bloodstream and affects the brain. This could help people drink less, as alcohol takes longer to have an effect.
In a study with 20 people, those taking these drugs had a slower rise in blood alcohol levels compared to others. They also felt less drunk. The drugs slow the emptying of the stomach, which helps control how alcohol affects the body. This could offer new hope for people struggling with alcohol addiction.
