Got Hot Flashes? There’s a New Pill for That

A new pill that combats the night sweats and hot flashes that often accompany menopause has been approved — and it’s hormone-free.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Lynkuet “to treat moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause” on Oct. 24; Vasomotor is the medical term for what’s commonly called hot flashes or night sweats.

The active ingredient in Lynkuet, elinzanetant, works on two receptors in the brain that regulate body temperature, and one that may help with sleep. (The existing nonhormal treatment for hot flashes, Veozah — the brand name for fezolinetant — only works on one receptor.) During clinical trials, the drug was found to have a profound impact on night sweats and hot flashes, Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Virginia Health System, told The New York Times.
