The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new pill for menopausal women to treat hot flashes and night sweats.
Menopause occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop producing reproductive hormones, typically in their early 50s. While there are several uncomfortable side effects, hot flashes and night sweats are the most common, according to the National Menopause Foundation. Up to 80 percent of menopausal women experience hot flashes and night sweats, The New York Times reports.
