What is Veoza?
Veoza is a non-hormonal menopause treatment that’s available on prescription to treat the most common menopause symptoms, hot flushes and night sweats. Veoza tablets do not contain any man-made or natural hormones, so they may be suitable for women who cannot or choose not to take HRT. Instead, it acts on the area of the brain responsible for causing vasomotor symptoms.
How does Veoza work?
Veoza works by blocking a protein called neurokinin B (NKB) from binding to its receptors in the brain. Neurokinin B is responsible for regulating the body’s temperature control centre.
Usually, neurokinin B works in conjunction with oestrogen to regulate body temperature and maintain balance. However, during menopause, oestrogen levels fall and neurokinin-B increases, causing vasomotor symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats.
Veoza is a non-hormonal medicine. It belongs to a group of medicines called NK3 receptor antagonists, which prevent neurokinin B from attaching to its receptors and thereby reduce body temperature. Overall, this reduces the frequency and intensity of vasomotor menopause symptoms.
How long does Veoza take to work?
Research has shown that Veoza can start working within one week, but it can take up to four weeks to achieve the full effects.
How to take Veoza
The recommended daily dose of Veoza is one 45 mg tablet per day. When taking Veoza tablets, you should:
- Take one tablet per day
- Take Veoza at the same time each day
- Swallow the tablet whole with fluid, preferably a glass of water
- Take the tablet with or without food
Veoza should always be taken exactly as your healthcare provider advises. If you are unsure, consult your clinician for guidance.
What happens if you miss a dose of Veoza?
If you have missed a Veoza dose and it is at least 12 hours before your next normal dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is less than 12 hours before your next scheduled dose, do not take the missed dose.
You must not take a double dose of Veoza to make up for a missed dose. If you keep missing doses, speak to your clinician for advice.
How to buy Veoza
You can buy Veoza online in the UK from Prescription Doctor with a private prescription.
To order Veoza, you will need to complete a brief online consultation, which involves filling out a medical questionnaire.
The answers you provide in the questionnaire will help our clinicians decide if Veoza's menopause treatment is suitable for you. If Veoza is suitable for you, orders approved by 3pm on a weekday will arrive via next-day delivery.
All our items are sent in discreet, opaque, and tamper-proof packaging to maintain your privacy. If our clinicians believe Veoza isn’t suitable for you, then you will receive a full refund at no cost as part of the Prescription Doctor money-back guarantee.
Is Veoza available on the NHS?
No, Veoza has not yet been approved for prescription on the NHS by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Fezolinetant is currently under review by NICE for the treatment of menopausal vasomotor symptoms, and it may become available on the NHS in the future.
Who can take Veoza
Veoza isn’t suitable for everyone. You should not take Veoza if:
- You are allergic to fezolinetant or any other ingredients found in the tablets
- You are pregnant or think you might be
- Take medicines called moderate or strong CYP1A2 inhibitors, such as fluvoxamine, enoxacin, mexiletine, ethinyl oestradiol
- Are under 18
Veoza warnings and contraindications
Before taking Veoza, you should let our clinicians know if you:
- Have liver problems or liver disease
- Have kidney problems
- Have or have had breast cancer or another oestrogen-related cancer
- Already take oestrogen-containing hormone replacement therapy
- Have a history of seizures
Veoza side effects
It is always recommended to call your healthcare provider if you experience the following side effects after taking Veoza treatment:
- Vomiting
- Back pain
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Unable to sleep
How effective is Veoza?
A study published in the Lancet in 2023 investigated the efficacy and safety of fezolinetant for treating vasomotor symptoms of menopause involving 2205 women aged 40 to 65.
The results showed that, compared to the placebo, fezolinetant 30 mg and 45 mg significantly reduced the frequency and severity of vasomotor symptoms at week 4. There were improvements in symptoms after one week of treatment, which were maintained throughout the 52-week study.
Alternative menopause medication
Veoza targets explicitly the part of the brain that regulates body temperature, thereby reducing the severity and frequency of hot flashes and night sweats. However, if you experience more than just vasomotor symptoms, you might consider hormone replacement therapy.
At Prescription Doctor, we offer several HRT options, including:
Patches
Tablets/capsules
Gels
If you are unsure which medication is best for you, you can chat with our Customer Service advisors or our medical team via ‘My Account’.

How long does Veoza take to work?
Research has shown that Veoza can start working within one week, but it can take up to four weeks to achieve the full effects.
