title: [Veralipride and menopause].
abstract: Twenty post-menopausal women (10 natural and 10 surgical menopauses) with climateric manifestations consisting mainly in hot flushes were given veralipride. Overall satisfactory results obtained in two-thirds of cases evidence the value of tis non-hormonal therapy, especially in cases of natural menopause which responded consistently. Clinical tolerance of veralipride proved satisfactory. Biological investigations (total and differential blood cell counts, glucid and lipid metabolism, BUN, transaminases) before and after three twenty-day courses of veralipride showed no modifications. Hormonal assays done in four patients showed no action of veralipride on FSH and LH.
