Is there any medication that is effective in treating hot flashes, but does not contain hormones?
Yes. There are some well-designed medications to relieve hot flashes that contain neither estrogen nor progesterone. They have been widely studied and shown to be clinically effective against hot flashes, although their effect is less than that obtained with estrogens. Like any other pharmaceutical product, these medications can cause side effects. You should therefore discuss them with your doctor.
