Escitalopram is an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) that has been clinically shown to reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes by up to 47% — making it the most effective non-hormonal option for menopause symptom relief. It is particularly appropriate for women who cannot take estrogen due to a history of hormone-sensitive cancers, blood clots, or other contraindications. Beyond hot flash relief, escitalopram helps manage the anxiety, depression, and mood instability that often accompany menopause. It is FDA-approved for anxiety and depression and is prescribed off-label for menopause symptoms.
An SSRI that modulates serotonin levels, reducing hot flash frequency and improving mood stability in menopausal women.
