Menopause

4.6. Medications other than hormone therapy

A range of drugs other than oestrogen-based hormones are also tried for the symptoms of the menopause. These include DHEA as well as some antidepressants. None of these have been shown conclusively to work in trials against hot flashes and other symptoms of the menopause [11], [34]. All of these drugs have adverse effects. Most of them have not been licensed for menopausal symptoms in Germany.
