Mark your calendar: New FDA-approved drug to cool menopause hot flashes arrives this November

The FDA has approved Lynkuet (elinzanetant), Bayer’s new once-daily, non-hormonal pill for moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats in menopausal women. This medication blocks brain chemicals linked to vasomotor symptoms, offering a significant alternative to hormone therapy. Clinical trials showed substantial reductions in hot flashes and night sweats, with sustained relief over a year.
