NATIONAL HARBOR, MD. – “The good news is that, if someone presents with hot flashes but isn’t a candidate for hormone therapy, you can offer them a range of options,” Dr. JoAnne Pinkerton, professor of ob.gyn. at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, said at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society.
In addition to hypnosis or products such as phytoestrogens that have a demonstrated strong placebo effect, Dr. Pinkerton recommends in this audio interview that physicians familiarize themselves with a Food and Drug Administration–approved paroxetine salt, certain doses of a variety of antidepressants, and other off-label treatments that can help alleviate menopause symptoms, including hot flashes, insomnia, and night sweats.
