How Long Do Menapause Last

Will lo loestrin fe 1 10 work for me if i'm having nite sweats

I am 51 years old and I have been going through menapause for the last two years and having nite sweats they are getting worse. I also take a pill for high blood pressure and a thyroid pill every day. Is it safe for me to take lo loestrin fe 1-10 to help with the hot flashes. ## Hello, Bella! How are you? No, generally hormonal contraceptives aren't recommended for women over 40, due to the increased risk of them causing blood clots. However, there are other options that can help, such as the antidepressant Prozac, even at very low doses, it has been known to help prevent night sweats and hot flashes. Side effects to it may include nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and weight loss. It somethings you may want to ask your doctor about. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you,...
