Menopause, a natural stage for all women, can bring a wave of uncomfortable symptoms that disrupt daily life.
Hot flashes and night sweats are some of the most common culprits. But for women in Mallorca, Veoza, the first non-hormonal treatment for these symptoms, is now available.
The first non-hormonal treatment for menopause symptons available in pharmacies
Cooperativa d Apotecaris pharmacies are offering Veoza, priced at €74.31. However, it requires a doctor s prescription and isn t covered by public health insurance yet.
Clinical trials have shown Veoza s effectiveness in reducing moderate to severe hot flashes. Patients who choose Veoza, after a doctor s prescription, will undergo initial blood tests to check for liver function and potential infections. Regular blood tests are recommended every three months for the first nine months of use. It s crucial to report any symptoms of liver damage, like nausea, vomiting, or skin/eye yellowing, to the doctor.

Veoza s arrival offers a promising option for women in Mallorca experiencing the discomforts of menopause. It’s potential to improve quality of life and the possibility of future public funding make it a significant development.
