Can someone explain the mechanism of action?
Is it working as a generic craving reducer to some extent? So helps with whatever your vice may be?
Do the other similar drugs do the same thing?
- 2c2c 2y agosmoking cessation has been measured as well. i suspect it's generalizable to all forms of addiction, but who knows

- bryant 2y agoTen bucks says hunger and reward center actuation are deeply intertwined, and these interesting outcomes of GLP-1 agonists are how we're figuring that out.
- frodo8sam 2y agoYeah, other GLP-1 receptor agonists are expected to have similar effects. One of the effects of GLP-1 receptor activation is a reduction in the rate of gastric emptying. So it slows down digestion and gives you a full, satiated feeling. Guess the urge for some drugs is related to the urge for food and that's how it supresses drug use. But the last bit is speculation on my part.
