La semaglutida en dosis bajas reduce el consumo de alcohol y cigarrillos.

Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults With Alcohol Use Disorder. A Randomized Clinical Trial

12 de febrero de 2025

Un ensayo de fase 2 evaluó el fármaco semaglutida administrado una vez a la semana para tratar el trastorno por consumo de alcohol (AUD por sus siglas en inglés). La semaglutida en dosis bajas redujo el consumo de alcohol en un entorno de laboratorio y disminuyó el ansia por beber, pero no afectó significativamente la frecuencia de consumo. También redujo el consumo de cigarrillos en fumadores. De acuerdo con los autores, estos resultados respaldan la realización de ensayos más amplios con agonistas del receptor de GLP-1 para el AUD, lo que podría ampliar las opciones de tratamiento más allá de los reducidos medicamentos aprobados por la FDA actualmente.
