In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by US-based surgeon Dr Lee Howard todiscuss the rise of neurokinin receptor antagonists, including fezolinetant,and what this means for the health of women.

While these drugs can reduce hot flushes, Dr Louise and Lee question whether treatinga single symptom risks overlooking the wider impact of hormone deficiency onlong-term health. They explore how these medications work, potential unknowneffects and the concern that symptom relief may give a false sense of reassurance.

The conversation highlights the need to move beyond a symptom-focused approach andrecognise menopause as a whole-body condition, ensuring women have clear, balanced information to make informed choices about their care.
