What are historically medicines found an opposite use for? Like Viagra being a heart pill but now a boner pill. Or Ozempic being a diabetic drug but now pretty much used for weight loss?

Wasn’t ozempic also indicated for alcohol addiction? I know that amphetamine and related compounds are indicated for weight loss and attention deficit. Seems like whenever we create a psychoactive drug it is a blunt instrument that has multiple side effects.
