medications
There are several types of medications that can be useful in relieving the symptoms of menopause. Medications may include:
- Low-dose antidepressants. These medications can help treat mood wings and hot flashes.
- Anti-seizure medications. Some anti-seizure medications, such as Gabapentin, are effective in reducing hot flashes.
- Bisphosphonates. These are non-hormonal medications that prevent or treat osteoporosis. Biphosphonates effectively reduce both bone loss and the risk of fractures.
