Fezolinetant (Veozah) a new drug for hot flashes. A complete review.

This is a complete drug review of fezolinetant (Veozah), a new prescription medication used to treat hot flashes. It is given as a daily oral tablet, and it is not a hormone. Fezolinetant is a unique, first in class treatment option. It works by blocking the NK3 receptor in the brain, which plays a role in body temperature regulation.
This review will define hot flashes, or vasomotor symptoms (VMS), and will briefly go over both hormonal and non-hormonal treatments that are available.
Fezolinetant’s unique mechanism of action will be fully explained, and its precautions, kinetics, drug interactions, and adverse reactions will be described. The drug’s clinical trials will be outlined, and their results will be summarized.

I suffered chills, flashes, and sweats for at least 20 years. I lose five hours of sleep each night from sweats and flashes, and for 15 years, I reported these problems to doctors. My doctors never gave me any treatments. This week, my endocrinologist gave me a sample of Veozah. I noticed that the night sweats stopped after taking the tablet. I can sleep without waking up with wet clothes, hair, and sheets or getting bone-hurting chills. I am crossing my fingers that the tablets don't cause any harmful side effects.
