The Food and Drug Administration鈥檚 approved a new treatment for the most frequent symptom of menopause: hot flashes. Brisdelle is significant because it doesn鈥檛 contain hormones 鈥� something many menopausal women have avoided as treatment since a 2002 study linked hormonal replacement therapy to breast cancer. Dr. Jill Waggoner, a family medicine specialist with Methodist Charlton Medical Center, talks about this with 四虎影院鈥檚 Sam Baker in this week鈥檚 Vital Signs.
