Besides Hormone Replacement Therapy — Can Treat Hot Flashes?
While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) relieves hot flashes for many women, there are other drug treatments that may offer relief. These include both over-the-counter and prescription therapies. Over-the-counter therapies include various vitamins, ibuprofen products, and soy protein found in foods. Prescription treatments include: • Catapres, Catapres-TTS, and Aldomet (blood pressure medications). Based on the side effects, these drugs are not recommended unless a woman has high blood pressure.
