Female patients with T2D may also take concomitant birth control medication and, therefore, an open-label study of healthy postmenopausal women ( N = 25) was conducted to assess the effect of oral semaglutide on the pharmacokinetics of the combined oral contraceptive ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg)/levonorgestrel (0.15 mg)

SGLT-2 inhibitors act primarily in the renal proximal tubule and have no established direct actions on mesolimbic reward circuits in the brain.63 On the contrary, neurotropism is a distinct property of GLP-1 receptor agonists.62 GLP-1 is produced in the brain, GLP-1 receptors are present in areas of the brain involved in impulse control and reward signalling, and a pharmacologically administered exogenous GLP-1 receptor agonist crosses the blood-brain barrier and enters the brain within minutes, strengthening the inference that the observed GLP-1 receptor agonist anti-addictive properties are likely specific and biologically plausible drug effect of GLP-1 receptor agonism, distinct from the general benefits of treating diabetes that would be expected with both SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists.6465 These observational findings do not by themselves justify the prescribing of GLP-1 receptor agonists specifically to prevent or treat SUDs
