Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) may represent a novel potential pharmacotherapeutic tool for alcohol use disorder (AUD).

  • Growing evidence indicates a possible link between GLP-1RAs and reduced alcohol consumption.
  • The study aims to explore how GLP-1RA prescriptions correlate with alcohol use in individuals diagnosed with AUD.
  • If confirmed, this association could provide new insights into treatment options for AUD.
