Eli Lilly’s new medication for alcoholism?

[LabTesting]

I saw a TikTok the other day about a new GLP drug for alcoholism that was entering Phase 3 trials.
Now I can’t find the name of it, and I wanted to know what makes it different from the others (what specifically makes it for alcoholism).



I’ve searched and can’t find it, maybe its not real?
I want to look into it more for people I know who are fighting alcoholism.

if real until its out on a grey market even does anyone know what glps seems to be the best for alcoholism?

I believe there's been evidence that GLP1 drugs affect dopaminergic pathways (think of how you feel while you are eating food and food noise) and the effect carrying over to alcohol use disorder. I'm not sure about the specific mechanism that targets alcohol use disorder but I also do remember seeing something about it. I'd assume the current GLP1's like tirzepatide could be helpful with alcohol use disorder

Not sure about alcoholism but when I started reta, my desire to drink alcohol really vanished. It was odd but I'm looking at some delicious IPA's in my fridge and not enticed in the least

yes there is a lot of chatter and stories of the same!

In fact my first post here was about it . I have friends who have said what you are saying and this Thread goes into it:

Sema curbed my alcohol cravings significantly when I first started. I managed to spend a good amount of time sober, which was about a 90% improvement over my previous consumption. That being said, life events did eventually overpower the aversion. I'm still drinking less, but I'm also drinking almost daily again- I'd say 50% of what I had before starting a glp.

I was technically started on sema for metabolic syndrome (I was on a medication for years that is known for causing it) but the reason I requested it was I knew I was approaching a life ruining amount of liquor. If you can figure out which one it is, I'd love to hear about it. I'm so excited for SUD to be a legitimate reason to be prescribed. It will be life changing for people.
