Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Lynkuet (elinzanetant) is a non-hormonal prescription medication used to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes and other menopause-related symptoms. It works by blocking NK-1 and NK-3 receptors in the brain, which play a role in temperature control and vasomotor symptoms. Unlike hormone replacement therapy, Lynkuet does not contain estrogen.

Elinzanetant is the active ingredient in this drug.
Before taking this medication, you may want to consult a healthcare provider about the following:
Elinzanetant may interact with certain medications. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors should not be taken with it, and the dose may need to be lowered if used with moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors. Always tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking.
The safety of elinzanetant has not been established in women with menopause caused by medical treatments or in those with a history of estrogen-related cancers. Your doctor will weigh the potential benefits and risks before prescribing it in these cases.
This medicine can cause fatigue, dizziness, or drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery if you feel these effects while taking it.
Elinzanetant should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Animal studies suggest risks to the fetus and drug transfer into milk, though human data are lacking.
This drug is not recommended for people under 18 or over 65 years old, as safety and effectiveness have not been studied in these groups.
Avoid taking this medication if any of the following apply:
The most common side effects of Lynkuet seen in studies were headache, tiredness, and sleepiness. Some people also reported stomach discomfort, diarrhea, dizziness, muscle spasms, or rash. These side effects were usually mild to moderate and happened more often than in those given a placebo.
More serious side effects were uncommon, though some people stopped treatment because of fatigue, headache, diarrhea, or stomach pain. Rare cases of sensitivity to sunlight have been reported, but it’s unclear how significant this is. Less frequent side effects included palpitations, mood changes, ringing in the ears, and changes in blood tests such as thyroid or blood sugar levels.
