SMC Update - August 2024

The Scottish Medicines Consortium (SMC) has issued its monthly advice on newly licensed medicines.

Fezolinetant (Veoza®) has been rejected for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause. The manufacturer failed to make a submission for this indication.

Action: Clinicians should be aware of the recommendations of the SMC. Routine use of rejected and restricted medicines should be avoided.
