Zyrtec may reduce hot flashes in postmenopausal women: small trial.(News)
MIAMI BEACH -- Zyrtec may be able to treat more than just allergies in some postmenopausal women, according to the results of a small study presented at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society.
Zyrtec (cetirizine hydrochloride) reduced hot flashes by 40% in a placebo-controlled study of 100 postmenopausal women, Dr. Carlos Ramos Jr. reported. "Based on this data, Zyrtec may be a promising nonhormonal alternative for the treatment of hot flashes in this group of women," he said.
Clinical observation was the basis for the study, which won an award for best clinical poster presentation at the meeting. "We kept hearing our postmenopausal patients say that after they started Zyrtec, their hot flashes didn't bother them as much," said Dr. Ramos, a resident at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
