The FDA has approved the oral medicine fezolinetant, branded as Veozah, as an effective treatment for severe vasomotor symptoms brought on by menopause.  This age is a neurokinin 3 receptor antagonist that effectively shields the receptor that controls body temperature.  The pill should be taken once a day, each day at the same time.  The drug’s effectiveness and safety were determined in two randomized, controlled, double-blinded trials.
