Abstract
Menopause is a natural physiologic process that typically occurs during the midlife years. Menopause may present with a variety of symptoms, with up to 80% of people reporting vasomotor symptoms (VMS). Although hormonal therapy is the most effective for bothersome VMS, some individuals cannot take hormones due to a contraindication or may prefer alternative methods. With only three U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved nonhormonal treatment options for bothersome VMS of menopause, the newer options of neurokinin receptor antagonists may offer additional benefits with improved sleep and quality of life. Nurses play a critical role in being up-to-date with treatments for bothersome menopausal symptoms to provide care that optimizes the health span.
