What to Love
This is a groundbreaking option for women who can’t or don’t want hormone therapy. It’s well-tolerated for most but can affect liver enzymes, so monitoring is required. It’s more expensive than older medications but shows real promise.
How it Works
One 45mg pill daily, with or without food. Liver function tests needed before and during use.
Veozah is the first FDA-approved non-hormonal treatment that directly targets hot flashes via the brain’s thermoregulation center.
Veozah blocks neurokinin B, a chemical that spikes as estrogen drops and confuses the brain’s internal thermostat. It doesn’t alter hormones—it simply dials down the brain’s overreaction to heat signals.
When to Avoid
Avoid if you have liver disease or take strong CYP1A2 inhibitors (like fluvoxamine)
Possible Side Effects
Headache, diarrhea, liver enzyme elevation
