Bayer's experimental pill, elinzanetant, effectively reduces hot flashes in menopausal women without hormone use.
Bayer's experimental pill, elinzanetant, has demonstrated significant success in reducing hot flashes for women experiencing menopause in two recent trials. The once-a-day pill works by blocking brain chemicals responsible for hot flashes and night sweats without the use of hormones, targeting the decrease in estrogen and progesterone production in women's ovaries during menopause. These non-hormonal drugs target a newly understood pathway in the brain that appears to control hot flashes, offering benefits not only for hot flashes but also for mood, sleep, and appetite.
