- Active substance
- semaglutide (Ozempic)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for methamphetamine use disorder, helping people cut down or stop using the drug.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 40 people. It is designed mainly to test safety and practicality, not to prove effectiveness. The results may not apply to everyone, and the drug may not reduce methamphetamine use at all.
