Welcome to the first edition of THE VEOZAH HOT SEAT. We’re talking the “M” word: menopause. And all things hot flashes and night sweats.
My name is Gloria Reuben. I am an actress, a singer, author, piano player, and a really good friend, and a really good daughter.
Well, I remember starting to experience hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause about 5 or 6 years ago. These hot flashes became, how do I say disruptive and just...I wasn’t able to ignore it anymore. It feels like a little bit of a lava flow...it starts right about here, and up it comes, and then ah I feel it in my neck, and I feel it in my face and then inevitably, I’ll start sweating. I knew it was a natural process and yet, I was embarrassed at the same time. And that just didn’t feel right.
The first time I saw an ad for VEOZAH, I literally stopped in my tracks because it was about a hormone-free, which is important to me, FDA approved treatment option for moderate to severe hot flashes due to menopause, called VEOZAH. And I thought, "Uh, wait... what?" I made an appointment with my doctor...she and I talked about it. She did a blood test to check my liver, and has done follow-up testing since I’ve been taking VEOZAH. I would have less frequent and less severe hot flashes and night sweats. I experienced relief from my hot flashes and my night sweats in about a week. The waking up many times during the night. I’m very glad to have found relief with VEOZAH.
It was a wonderful thing to experience as my body responded so positively to the treatment. Because of VEOZAH I worry less about hot flashes disrupting me. Whether I’m on the set. Whether I’m on a date, spending time with my family or friends, and with less of that worry, I feel freer. I really want to educate about VEOZAH, empower women to speak with their doctor, to determine, decide which treatment option is right for them. But, I also want to encourage more conversation around the topic of menopause and to rid the shame that can surround this change—this natural change. Embrace the changes that come with aging.

What is VEOZAH™ (fezolinetant)?
VEOZAH is a prescription medicine used to reduce moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause. VEOZAH is not a hormone. Vasomotor symptoms are the feelings of warmth in the face, neck, and chest, or sudden intense feelings of heat and sweating (“hot flashes” or “hot flushes”).
Before you use VEOZAH, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you:
- have liver disease or problems.
- have kidney problems.
- have any medical conditions that may become worse while you are using VEOZAH.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. VEOZAH may affect the way other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how VEOZAH works.
VEOZAH can cause serious side effects, including:
- increased liver blood test values and liver problems. Your healthcare provider will do a blood test to check your liver before you start taking VEOZAH. Your healthcare provider will also do this blood test monthly for the first 3 months, at month 6, and month 9 after you start taking VEOZAH or if you have signs or symptoms that suggest liver problems. If your liver blood test values are elevated, your healthcare provider may advise you to stop treatment or request additional liver blood tests.
Stop VEOZAH and call your healthcare provider right away if you have the following signs or symptoms of liver problems:
- feeling more tired than you do usually
- nausea
- vomiting
- itching
- yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
- pale feces
- dark urine
- pain in the right upper stomach (abdomen)
The most common side effects of VEOZAH include:
- stomach (abdominal) pain
- diarrhea
- difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
- back pain
- hot flashes or hot flushes
These are not all the possible side effects of VEOZAH. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or does not go away.
Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
