For those struggling with hot flashes and night sweats, here's a promising development in menopause treatment. In a phase 3 clinical trial, researchers have found that the new non-hormonal drug, Elinzanetant, could reduce the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women.

The often nightmarish discomfort that women go through during menopause includes symptoms like hot flashes, heart palpitations, changes in blood pressure, and night sweats. These issues, also called vasomotor symptoms, arise from the constriction or dilation of blood vessels due to decreased estrogen levels during menopause.
