VA Study: Ozempic, Other GLP-1 Drugs May Fight Addiction Across Every Major Substance

A recent study by the VA has found that certain medications, including Ozempic, may be effective in fighting addiction. These medications, known as GLP-1 drugs, have shown promise in addressing substance use disorders. The study's findings are particularly relevant for veterans, who are disproportionately affected by substance use disorders.

However, it is essential to note that GLP-1 drugs are not yet approved for addiction treatment. Further information on the study and its findings can be found through the VA, which is continuing to build the evidence base for these medications as a potential treatment for addiction.
