According to new reports, blockbuster weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic do more than help users shed a few pounds – they also may help kick addictive behaviors.
Users of the drugs have said that cravings for substances like nicotine, opioids and alcohol have diminished alongside continued use.
However, the Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve the medications for addiction treatment.
Still, with time, Wegovy and Ozempic users may just find that an unexpected weight has been taken off their shoulders.
