In a new study published in the conventional pharmaceutical journal ‘Drugs in R&D’ a combination of individual medicines known to be effective in the treatment of women suffering adverse menopausal symptoms proved effective in treating hot flashes. In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study carried out between June 2010 and July 2011 in France, the prescribed treatment was either BRN-01 tablets, a registered homeopathic medicine containing Actaea racemosa (4 centesimal dilutions [4CH]), Arnica montana (4CH), Glonoinum (4CH), Lachesis mutus (5CH), and Sanguinaria canadensis (4CH), or identical placebo tablets.
Conclusion: BRN-01 seemed to have a significant effect on the hot flashes, compared with placebo. According to the results of this clinical trial, BRN-01 may be considered a new therapeutic option with a safe profile for hot flashes in menopausal women who do not want or are not able to take hormone replacement therapy or other recognized treatments for this indication. No serious adverse events were recorded for either group of patients.
