HOW DOES
VEOZAH WORK?
Unlike anything else, VEOZAH directly blocks a source of hot flashes. It works in your hypothalamus—the area of your brain that controls body temperature.
WHAT’s VEOZAH?
VEOZAH (fezolinetant) is an FDA-approved prescription treatment for moderate to severe VMS (Vasomotor Symptoms)—also known as hot flashes and night sweats—due to menopause.
HOW DOES
VEOZAH is the first and only treatment designed to specifically block neurokinin B (NKB). NKB is a chemical that binds to a receptor in your brain, triggering hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause.
