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?
