Kattakuzhy, MD , talks about her research exploring whether semaglutide — a GLP-1 medication widely used for diabetes and weight management — could help reduce cravings and improve outcomes for people with stimulant use disorder. Kattakuzhy, who is also co-director of the Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine at UMSOM, describes how the study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of semaglutide in people with cocaine use disorder, including participants with and without HIV, while also tracking secondary outcomes such as changes in drug use and cravings.
