Description
This review evaluates the current available evidence for GLP-1 receptor agonists, dual GLP-1/GIP receptor co-agonists with a focus on GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonists and discusses the potential future benefits and research directions

Important observations All five clinical trials that were included in the analysis reported GLP-1 receptor agonist-mediated reduction in substance use disorder, with two trials respectively reporting a significant therapeutic impact of GLP-1 receptor agonist in reducing alcohol use disorder and nicotine use disorder
