ConclusionsProgesterone showed the highest efficacy, followed by SSRIs/SNRIs, neuroleptic agents, and tibolone, while phytoestrogen and other types of drugs showed no efficacy advantages. There is a significant association between the baseline of hot flashes and drug efficacy, while there was no significant difference between breast cancer patients and natural menopausal women.
