About 400 million people globally live with alcohol use disorder (AUD).
AUD is linked to an increased risk for many diseases, including cancer.
Although there are medicinal treatments available for AUD, only about 2% of people with AUD use them.
A new study has found that semaglutide — the active substance in Ozempic and Wegovy — may help reduce alcohol cravings in people with AUD.
