Veoza for hot flushes

Hi, my GP gave me a call last week suggesting this new medication Veoza for my hot flushes. It was only approved by the TGA in February this year. It’s apparently safe for hormone positive breast cancer patients. Given we can’t take hormone replacement therapy it sounds like an interesting option. After 4 years of suffering hot flushes & night sweats I think I’m prepared to give it a try. Has anyone else had any experience with this very new drug yet?

    Thanks, that sounds really interesting. I have had problems with regulating my body temperature for years following menopause. I'll have to check with my oncologist as the medicine information says it may not be suitable for people who currently have or have previously had breast cancer. I do hope it can be used!

    @HappySoul I hope it works for you from what I’ve read you shouldn’t drink coffee when on it. I’m a big coffee drinker also those energy drink are full of caffeine 
    Double check the drug interactions with your treating Dr to make sure your not on any of them. 
    I have to let my GP on Medical Oncologist know what pills and potions im swallowing Including vitamins etc. 
    let us know how you go.
