Frequently Asked Questions

VEOZAH is a prescription medicine used to reduce moderate to severe Vasomotor Symptoms (VMS) due to menopause. VEOZAH is not a hormone.

VEOZAH is the first and only prescription treatment to directly block a source of hot flashes. VEOZAH blocks the binding of NKB, a brain chemical known to trigger hot flashes.

VMS—also known as hot flashes and night sweats—are the feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden intense feelings of heat and sweating, commonly experienced during menopause.

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

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