I’d be interested to hear about people’s experiences with Addyi and with Veozah - pros and cons and any unexpected findings - and how you might have been feeling when taking either of these medications?
Many thanks

R U able to tell us more about each product?

Veozah/Veoza (fezolinetant) is a non-hormonal prescription that helps prevent hot flushes by acting directly on the brain. It works by blocking a brain protein called neurokinin-3 that plays a unique role in regulating body temperature in menopausal women. Fezolinetant’s safety and efficacy in women over the age of 65 hasn’t been studied sufficiently although I hope this will change in the future.
Addyi (fibanserin) is a prescription to treat decreased sexual desire in some women - HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) - who haven’t gone through menopause (i.e. not for post-menopausal women although it can be (and is) prescribed off-label for those women).

I assume, perhaps, that not so many women who access these Menopause Matter Forums are actually using these particular prescriptions although it would be interesting to hear about their experiences if they are doing! Many thanks and hope this helps?

Fezolinetant looks very promising although not yet prescribable on the NHS. Is Addyi available now in the UK?

I am taking Veoza. Have been on it just a few days, but the sweating at night seems to have calmed. I say that loosely, as anything can happen with my body!

I paid privately, wait for it.. a whopping £62, which includes pharmacy prescription fees. However, if works I will be taking it until it becomes available on the NHS.

That's really interesting Nas.

I see superdrug are offering it for £99 a month. Ridic.

Yes’ Crispy, a bit of a rip off me thinks. £62 is enough!
