>> A NEW JUDGE COULD BE A GAME-CHANGER WHEN IT COMES TO LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT
THIS, JENNIFER WAUGH SAT DOWN
WITH A DOCTOR TO LEARN MORE
ABOUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE
DRUG CALLED THE OHSA.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: A NEW DRUG
MEANT TO TREAT ONE OF THE MOST
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MENOPAUSE
WILL SOON BE AVAILABLE OVER
THE COUNTER. THE FDA HAS
APPROVED A ONCE A DAY PILL
THAT TREATS HOT FLASHES WILL
BE SOLD UNDER THE BRAND NAME
VIDEOS UP. IT’S EXPECTED TO BE
IN PHARMACIES WITHIN 3 WEEKS.
OBGYN DOCTOR SANIKA WITH HCA
FLORIDA MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IS
JOINING US VIA ZOOM THIS
MORNING. GOOD MORNING, DOC.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING. THANKS
FOR HAVING SO WOULD YOU SHOULD
WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW WHAT
WOMEN CONSIDER BEFORE GOING IN
BUYING A DRUG OVER THE COUNTER
LIKE THIS?
>> ACTUALLY, SHE’S ONE OF THE
MOST COMMON REASONS THAT I SEE
FOR PAVING A CAUSE OF PATIENTS
OTHER THAN THE REGULAR AHEAD,
EVEN SAYS SO YOU NEED TO
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE, THAT
CHANGES FOR THE HAVE FRESH
COOLING BLANKET MAYOR
OVER-THE-COUNTER SUPPLEMENT.
BUT IF YOU’RE FLASHES, SOME
AFFECTING YOUR THE QUALITY OF
YOUR LIFE AND YOU NEED TO GET
ON THE MEDICATION ACTORS
GUIDANCE. SO THIS IS REALLY
NOT FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS
THIS. A WOMAN WHO’S KIND OF,
YOU KNOW, HAVING MAYBE ONE OR
2 HOT FLASHES. THIS IS FOR
SOMEONE WHO
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IT’S REALLY
IMPACTING HOW THEY SLEEP AT
NIGHT. AND AND AS YOU
MENTIONED, THE QUALITY OF
THEIR LIFE.
>> YES, DEFINITELY. THIS
MEDICATION HAS OPPOSING
CONCEPTS ROUTE TO MEDICATIONS.
SO IF YOU CAN HANG YOUR HOT
FLASHES WITH EITHER METHOD
HOUR, WHICH TRIED GET EVERY
FIRST. YES, YOU MENTION PROS
AND CONS. ARE THERE ANY SIDE
EFFECTS? SO JUST LIKE A NEW
MEDICATION SAY CAN CAUSE A
HEADACHE AND SOME ACTUALLY ONE
OF THE SIDE EFFECT PROFILE,
RIGHT TO HAVE A CHANCE TO GET
TO HOW HE WORKS IS A WORKS ON
AND NEW. A CHANCE THAT THE
RECEPTOR SEEN OUR BRAIN THAT
REGULATES BODY TEMPERATURE SO
YOU CAN CAUSE SOME HAVE AS
WELL A SIDE EFFECT. AND THE
ABDOMINAL PAIN, DIARRHEA AND
BACK PAY. SO.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IT’S
INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU’RE
KIND OF EXPLAINING HOW
MENOPAUSE HAPPENS. HOW DOES
THIS WORK THIS DRUG? BECAUSE
IT IT INVOLVES, YOU KNOW, WHAT
GOES ON IN THE BRAIN.
>> SO THE MENOPAUSE SEES ALL
THE SYMPTOMS ARE CAUSED BY THE
AND PROGESTERONE CROPPING
HOUR. LET’S BUT THIS
MEDICATION IS VERY UNIQUE
BECAUSE IT BLOCKS AND THEN
YOUR TRANSMITTER RECEPTOR,
WHICH IS CALLED YORK HIDING.
WE SET OUR SO THAT’S THE
RECEPTOR THAT CONTROLS THE
BODY OUR BRAIN. SO IT’S A
VERY, VERY UNIQUE MEDICATION.
SO I KNOW THAT NOT THAT. SO I
WANT TO ADD ONE MORE BIG WANT
AND THAT’S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO SOME
WOMEN WHO CAN’T TAKE DRUGS
THAT HAVE HORMONES.
>> MENOPAUSE IS, AS WE KNOW, A
NORMAL PART OF PEOPLE AS HAVE,
YOU KNOW, FOR WOMEN AS THEY
GET OLDER IT IS THERE A
GENERAL AGE THAT THIS HAPPENS
FOR OUR VIEWERS WHO ARE
SITTING HERE WONDERING, OKAY,
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO I
REMEMBER MY FIRST AARP
MAGAZINE BY THAT A
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO THE
MIDDLE CLASS ISN’T THAT BY
DEFINITION, IT’S NOT A
HOMEOWNER DIAGNOSIS. IT
HAPPENED NO PERIOD WHATSOEVER
FOR 12 MONTH IN A ROW.
>> THAT IS BECAUSE IT HAS A
MENOPAUSE. THE AVERAGE AGE OF
THAT ABOUT 51, YES, BETWEEN 50
AND 52, BUT HE CAN HAPPEN YEAR
AND HAVE MAJOR.
>> AND HOW LONG DOES IT
TYPICALLY LAST
>> SO THAT’S WHAT THAT PAIN ON
A POSITIVE CHANGES LIKE
TALKING SO HUGE AND THE ON
AVERAGE OVER 7 YEARS. BUT
ABSENT PATIENTS GOING THROUGH
14 YEARS OR NO, NO PROBLEM
WHATSOEVER. ALL DEPENDS ON
YOUR LIFESTYLE. SMOKING HAVE
BODY WEIGHT AND THE GENETIC
COMPONENT.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO A WOMAN
WHO WOULD TAKE THIS MEDICATION
THAT WOULD ONLY HAVE TO TAKE
IT THEN AS LONG AS THE
SYMPTOMS LAST, THEY DON’T HAVE
TO TAKE IT FOR. IT’S A ONCE A
DAY PILL AND VERY HAVE TO TAKE
IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. AT THE
SAME TIME ARE EACH DAY. DOCTOR
SHE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
