Abstract

Two of the most common complaints about menopause are hot flashes and night sweats. Although menopause hormone therapy (MHT) is considered the gold standard treatment for hot flashes, many women request non-hormonal treatments either because hormonal treatment is contraindicated or due to the patient’s refusal to use it. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), pregabalin and gabapentin seem to be an attractive alternative for women to ameliorate the frequency and severity of menopausal vasomotor symptoms (VMS).

Keywords: Hot Flashes; Night Sweats; Nonhormonal Treatment; Antidepressants; Antiepileptics
