Do you want a non-hormonal medication to treat hot flashes and night sweats?

Veozah (fezolinetant) is an FDA-approved non-hormonal medication to treat moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats.
Hot flashes and night sweats are common, and often overwhelming, symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Fezolinetant is a daily oral pill.
The main safety concern with fezolinetant is its effect on liver function. It should not be taken for people with cirrhosis or severe kidney impairment.
Fezolinetant is well-tolerated. 1-2% of patients may have abdominal pain, diarrhea, back pain or insomnia. Fezolinetant has not been studied head-to-head with menopausal hormonal therapy and is thought to be less effective in treating hot flashes or night sweats than estrogen. Fezolinetant does not affect bone density or treat vaginal dryness. The cost of fezolinetant without insurance can cost $540/month.
