Abstract
Use of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist semaglutide was associated with reduced risk of alcohol-related hospitalization in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD), a cohort study has found. Both semaglutide and the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide were associated with lower risk of hospitalization than use of medication treatments for AUD. Study results were published online Nov. 13, 2024, in JAMA Psychiatry.
