The FDA has issued a boxed warning for the menopausal drug Veozah, cautioning about the risk of severe liver injury. Veozah is used to treat hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause, but can cause rare but serious liver damage. Symptoms of liver injury include fatigue, nausea, itching, yellowing of the eyes, and more. Patients and healthcare professionals are advised to conduct monthly liver tests for the first two months of treatment and continue regular testing thereafter. While the drug’s manufacturer states the overall benefit-risk remains positive, it is important for patients and healthcare providers to be aware of potential side effects.
