FDA Drug Could Tackle Booze Cravings & Pain

Scientists just found out that apremilast—a drug already FDA-approved for psoriasis—might help people with alcohol use disorder drink less AND feel less pain. In preclinical studies, it cut both cravings and pain sensitivity, which is huge since pain often leads to relapse. Bonus: it might even help with anxiety during withdrawal. Still early days, but this could be a game-changer for anyone struggling with both drinking and chronic pain.
