Description

  • Reduces hot flashes and night sweats

Veoza is a prescription medication developed to alleviate moderate to severe symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats. The active ingredient, fezolinetant, works by targeting the neurokinin-3 receptor, helping to regulate body temperature and reduce the intensity and frequency of menopausal discomforts. This non-hormonal treatment offers an alternative for women seeking relief without traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Dosage and usage
Plus iconMinus

Veoza is typically prescribed as one tablet per day, taken orally with water, at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Your doctor will provide precise instructions tailored to your needs. Consistency is key to ensuring the medication’s effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.

What Veoza contains

Each Veoza tablet contains fezolinetant as the active ingredient.

Like all medications, Veoza may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, and abdominal discomfort. These symptoms are usually mild and subside as your body adjusts to the medication. Rare but serious side effects include liver problems. Contact your doctor immediately if you notice any symptoms, such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, persistent fatigue, or the symptoms mentioned before.
Precautions

Veoza is not suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have a history of liver disease, severe kidney problems, breast cancer or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Regular monitoring of liver function may be required during treatment. Avoid alcohol while taking Veoza, as it may increase the risk of liver-related side effects.
