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 work?

Unlike anything else, VEOZAH directly blocks a source of hot flashes and night sweats. It works in your hypothalamus—the area of your brain that controls body temperature.

Science has revealed that VMS—also known as Vasomotor Symptoms—the medical name for hot flashes and night sweats—due to menopause isn't caused by declining estrogen alone.

 

In fact, we know that a brain chemical called neurokinin B, or NKB for short, is a trigger of VMS. NKB is found in the temperature control center of your brain, the hypothalamus.

 

When NKB binds to the receptor in the hypothalamus during menopause it triggers hot flashes and night sweats.

 

VEOZAH is the first prescription treatment of its kind for moderate to severe Vasomotor Symptom (VMS) due to menopause.

 

VEOZAH is designed to directly block NKB from binding to the receptor. This reduces hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause.

VEOZAH is the first and only prescription 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.

kidney failure.
  • Do not use VEOZAH if you are taking certain medicines called CYP1A2 inhibitors. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.
  • VEOZAH can cause serious side effects, including increased liver blood test values and 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 and call your healthcare provider right away if you have the following signs or symptoms of liver problems: feeling more tired than you do usually, nausea, vomiting, itching, yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice), pale feces, dark urine, or pain in the upper right stomach (abdomen).
  • The most common side effects of VEOZAH are stomach (abdominal) pain, diarrhea, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), back pain, and hot flashes or hot flushes.

While taking VEOZAH, its important to keep your doctor informed. This gives them valuable insights along your treatment journey.
