Is anyone on here taking medication for excessive Hot Flushes which I am suffering from? I'm sure my Oncologist told me when I saw hm for the first time that there was a drug that you can take if it gets too bad which mine is certainly going that way. 

Any advice would be much apprecited

  • Hello  

    6 months into Hormone Therapy I was having serious hot flushes - those you need to change your clothes with! Someone suggested Sage Tablets - they work for me - two weeks on them and the hot flushes stopped. I am still on Sage Tablets - still no hot flushes. I use Menoforce, they are a tad expensive, but they work for me.

    The prescription medication is medroxyprogesterone. Details in this link:

    Medroxyprosterone-acetate

    I hope you get sorted.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi Brian,

    Thank you for the advice once again, I've already been to Holland and Barrett and purchased some. I'll let you know how I get on. Kind regards Lee
