It’s important to know that your symptoms are real and valid, and that you’re not alone in experiencing them. Speaking with your doctor about your hot flashes is the first step toward finding a treatment that works for you.

Below is a Doctor Discussion Guide that you can save or print. When you're ready to start talking to your healthcare provider about VMS treatment options, feel free to use it to start the conversation. Along with questions relating to the VMS Impact Quiz, we've included helpful questions to ask about VEOZAH and how it might help with moderate to severe VMS (Vasomotor Symptoms) due to menopause.

Thank you for taking the Impact Quiz!

Congratulations on taking the Impact Quiz!


As a board-certified OBGYN, I’ve spent almost 20 years talking to women about menopause.


I’m partnering with Astellas about the importance of speaking with your doctor about hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause—also known as Vasomotor Symptoms, or VMS.


It’s the first step toward finding a treatment that works for you.


But I get it: talking about these symptoms is not always easy. Taking the Impact Quiz was a great start.


The answers to these questions can help you have a better conversation with your doctor.


That’s why it’s important that you download your personalized Doctor Discussion Guide and use it as a tool to help guide the conversation with your doctor about VMS, including whether VEOZAH may be right for you.


VEOZAH is a 100% hormone-free treatment for moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause.


It is the first prescription treatment that blocks the binding of NKB, a brain chemical known to trigger hot flashes.


VEOZAH is proven to reduce the number and severity of hot flashes and night sweats* due to menopause, with some women reporting that it works in as early as one week.


Visit the “About VEOZAH” page on this site, or click below to learn more about VEOZAH.


Remember, you don’t have to wait until your annual visit to make an appointment with your doctor to talk about treating your hot flashes and night sweats.


You can take your health in your own hands, even in the face of hot flashes. This important conversation starts with you.


VEOZAH can cause serious side effects, including liver problems. Your doctor will do blood tests before and during treatment.


Stop VEOZAH and call your doctor if you have symptoms of liver problems, such as feeling more tired than usual, decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, itching, yellowing of the eyes or skin, pale stool, dark urine, or stomach pain.


Don’t use VEOZAH if you have cirrhosis, severe kidney problems, kidney failure, or take CYP1A2 inhibitors. 



 

*Based on clinical studies measuring efficacy at 4 and 12 weeks.

What is VEOZAH™ (fezolinetant)?


VEOZAH is a prescription medicine used to reduce moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause. VEOZAH is not a hormone. Vasomotor symptoms are the feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden intense feelings of heat and sweating (“hot flashes” or “hot flushes”). 

VEOZAH can cause serious side effects, including:

  • Liver Problems. Your healthcare provider will do a blood test to check your liver before you start taking VEOZAH. Your healthcare provider will also do this blood test monthly for the first 3 months, at month 6, and month 9 after you start taking VEOZAH or if you have signs or symptoms that suggest liver problems. If your liver blood test values are elevated, your healthcare provider may advise you to stop treatment or request additional liver blood tests.

Stop VEOZAH right away and call your healthcare provider if you have the following signs or symptoms of liver problems:

  • feeling more tired than you do usually
  • decreased appetite
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • itching
  • yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
  • pale feces
  • dark urine
  • pain in the stomach (abdomen)

Do not use VEOZAH if you:

  • have cirrhosis.
  • have severe kidney problems or kidney failure.
  • are taking certain medicines called CYP1A2 inhibitors. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.

Before you use VEOZAH, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:

  • have liver disease or problems.
  • have kidney problems.
  • have any medical conditions that may become worse while you are using VEOZAH.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. VEOZAH may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how VEOZAH works.

The most common side effects of VEOZAH include:

  • stomach (abdominal) pain 
  • diarrhea
  • difficulty sleeping (insomnia) 
  • back pain
  • hot flashes or hot flushes 

These are not all the possible side effects of VEOZAH. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.

Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088
