A study suggests that weight loss medications like Ozempic may help reduce the risk of overdose and alcohol intoxication in people with substance use disorders.

,A weight-loss drug more effective than Ozempic and Wegovy has recently been approved in Australia. The drug, tirzepatide, is sold under the brand name Mounjaro and affects feelings of hunger and fullness, as well as changing how the body processes food. (In other countries, tirzepatide is also sold under the brand name Zepbound.)
