Results showed a significant reduction in the number of hot flushes per day with the treatment compared to placebo, along with improvements in health-related quality of life, including psychological symptoms and vaginal dryness. The treatment was well tolerated, with no significant differences in serious adverse events or changes in body weight between the groups.
