A recent study, “Associations of semaglutide with incidence and recurrence of alcohol use disorder in real-world population,” based on 83,825 patients with obesity, has found that these patients reduced their risk of AUD incidence or recurrence by 50%–56%. The study, published in the May issue of <i>Nature Communications</i>, found that consistent reductions were seen for a 12-month period. The findings provide evidence of the potential benefit of these drugs, now commonly called weight-loss drugs, to treat AUD, and the researchers (lead author William Wang, second author Nora D. Volkow, M.D., director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse) have called for clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":22496,"journal":{"name":"The Brown University Child & Adolescent Psychopharmacology Update","volume":"26 8","pages":"5-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141597108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
