Weight-loss drugs show promise in tackling opioid and alcohol abuse
Ozempic and similar products cut opioid and alcohol abuse by up to half, according to research that adds to evidence of the hugely popular blockbuster drugs’ broad potential beyond tackling obesity and diabetes. In the more than 5,000 participants suffering from alcohol abuse and using a GLP-1 drug, there was a 50 per cent lower rate of intoxication than for those without a prescription. The study, published in the journal Addiction on Thursday, is the latest effort to find medicinal ways to combat addiction. It will provide further understanding of the ever-growing potential uses of GLP-1s and boost hopes of tackling the US opioid epidemic. Known side effects such as nausea and vomiting lead many users to stop using the drugs within a year.

Many smaller, local nursing homes, especially in rural Ireland, have closed in recent years, leading to a loss of these community-based homes. The report also demonstrates the trend towards larger nursing homes with more beds. The need to continue the programme of reform of the regulatory framework is also highlighted in the overview report.
