Pharmacologic treatments can help manage menopause symptoms effectively. Options include:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness. It is essential to weigh the benefits against potential risks, such as an increased risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Non-hormonal medications, such as antidepressants for mood swings and hot flashes, and gabapentin for night sweats. Topical estrogen creams for vaginal dryness.
