First brain-based drug for hot flushes


A first-of-its-kind drug to treat menopausal hot flushes without hormones has been approved in the United States. Fezolinetant, which is produced by Japanese company Astellas Pharma and will be sold as Veozah, blocks a receptor in brain cells that are involved in regulating body temperature. In clinical trials, fezolinetant reduced the frequency of the symptom by about 60%. “Hot flashes are not just a nuisance,” says gynaecologist JoAnn Pinkerton. “This has a profound effect on women’s lives.”
