SHL: Consider Skipping the Prescription and Opt for a Side-Effect-Free Way to Curb Menopausal Symptoms

Vanita Rahman, MD, DipABLM

The American College of Physicians (ACP) this fall issued new guidance for women with menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and night sweats, that calls for hormone replacement therapy as a first line of treatment. Second- and third-line treatment options are also prescription medications.
