AMS Webinar: Vasomotor symptom (VMS) management with non-hormonal options
Join us online at 7.00pm on Thursday 21 March 2024 for the AMS Webinar: Vasomotor symptom (VMS) management with non-hormonal options. This webinar is targeted at GPs, specialists and allied health workers who are seeking a comprehensive update on non-hormonal therapies for VMS. Although menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is the most effective option for management of VMS and genitourinary symptoms, some women are unable to use MHT, for personal or health reasons.
Dr Sonia Davison, Endocrinologist and AMS Past-President, will take us through evidence-based non-hormonal options for vasomotor symptoms, including a new therapy using a neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor antagonist. AMS President Dr Sylvia Rosevear will chair the meeting and there will be plenty of time for questions.
