Three Cochrane reviews commissioned by the World Health Organization evaluate GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide, semaglutide, and liraglutide for weight loss in people with obesity. The drugs show substantial weight reduction compared to placebo, but researchers note limitations in long-term data and industry funding influences. Side effects such as nausea are common, raising questions about broader access and safety.

A new study from the University of Gothenburg shows that tirzepatide, the active ingredient in the diabetes and weight loss drug Mounjaro, reduces alcohol intake and relapse-like behaviors in rats and mice. This builds on prior research on semaglutide in Ozempic and Wegovy, which curbs alcohol consumption in humans. Researchers hope for similar effects in patients with alcohol dependence.
