Sept 19 (Reuters) - Menopausal hot flashes and night sweats were significantly reduced for women taking a non-hormonal pill from Bayer in a late-stage trial, researchers reported in JAMA Internal Medicine, ...
More than 600 postmenopausal women with troublesome vasomotor symptoms took either elinzanetant or a placebo daily for 52 weeks.
By week 12, elinzanetant recipients saw a more than 73% reduction in the frequency and severity of such events, compared to a 47% reduction in the placebo group, researchers reported.
By week 50, those in the elinzanetant group were experiencing an average of 1.4 moderate-to-severe hot flashes or night sweats per day, versus 3.5 such events per day in the placebo group.
