Jen Gunter Instagram – Little update about non hormonal medications for hot flashes that work on the neurokinin 3 receptors/KNDy neurons. We have one drug in the market, fezolinetant (Vezoah), but there are 3 more in the pipeline. One, enlinzanetant seems the furthest along.
This is great news. More options only help women. Also, the development of these medications has taught us more about the neurobiology of hot flashes. And of course, competition is good for pricing.
I have seen some really good results with Vezoah, so I am excited to see what happens. Of course, a drug in the pipeline is not a guarantee it will make it to FDA approval or get approved.
While estrogen remains the gold standard for hot flashes, not everyone can take it.
This is exciting and hopeful. And over time we may learn more about menopause. | Posted on 23/May/2024 21:29:35
