How are drugs used in managing menopause symptoms?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is often prescribed to manage menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. HRT typically involves the administration of estrogen alone or in combination with progesterone. Non-hormonal options, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and gabapentin, may also be used to alleviate certain symptoms.
