Who is getting Hot Flushes? Have you been given any meds to combat it?
Oxybutynin has been used to mitigate hot flushes/flashes for at least 5 years in the USA - has anyone been prescribed it in Australia?
It is more known as an incontinence game changer (hubby was on it & it gave him his dignity back.) He rarely had spills after he started wearing the patches (His were Oxytrol Patches you change them every 4 days) - these appear to be tablets.

So .... if you ARE having lots of hot flushes due to your AI Meds & are inconvenienced by them - maybe ask your Onc about the use of Oxybutynin!

If you are having uncomfortable hot flushes - speak to your Onc/GP about trying Ditropan (Oxybutynin hydrochloride) .... even just taking a half a tablet, twice a day, may rid you of the dreaded hot flushes - and may also help with you sleeping, as it helps reduce the need to pee as well - so hopefully, no midnight flits to the loo!!
