Will a GLP-1 help hot flashes in peri or post menopause?

GLP-1 drugs are tools for metabolism when prescribed for approved uses, such as type 2 diabetes or long-term weight management. They are not hot-flash drugs. For hot flashes and night sweats, the strongest evidence is still for menopausal hormone therapy and a short list of non-hormone prescriptions studied for that job. Losing weight may change how someone feels, but that is not an approved use for menopause symptoms. Do not drop prescribed HRT for a GLP-1 in the hope it will treat sweats.
