Menofem (Dry Extract From Cimicifuga Racemosa (L.) Nutt., Rhizoma (Black Cohosh) (5-10:1), Extraction Solvent)

The exact mechanism is not fully defined, but black cohosh is thought to modulate central neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, exhibit weak estrogenic activity, and influence hypothalamic thermoregulatory centers, thereby reducing vasomotor symptoms. It may also affect peripheral vascular receptors, helping balance hormonal fluctuations without directly binding estrogen receptors.

The appropriate dose of Menofem is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on individual needs, product formulation and local regulatory guidance. Patients should follow the dosage instructions provided on the label or by their clinician and should not adjust the amount without medical advice.

Safety of black cohosh during pregnancy and lactation has not been established. Because of limited data, Menofem is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Consultation with a physician is essential before use in these populations.

Menofem is an herbal, non‑hormonal option that may alleviate vasomotor symptoms without delivering systemic estrogen, whereas hormone replacement therapy provides estrogen (with or without progesterone) to replace declining hormones. HRT is more potent but carries different risk profiles; Menofem may be preferred by women seeking a botanical alternative or who cannot use HRT.

Menofem should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Keeping the product in a dry, cool place helps maintain its potency and shelf‑life.

Menofem is taken orally, typically as a tablet or capsule, according to the dosage instructions supplied by the prescriber or printed on the label. It should be swallowed with water and may be taken with or without food, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Although uncommon, serious adverse reactions can include liver enzyme elevations indicating hepatic stress, severe allergic responses such as anaphylaxis or angioedema, and unexpected uterine bleeding. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience signs of liver dysfunction, severe rash, swelling, or abnormal bleeding.

Menofem is not recommended for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have known liver disease, or have a history of allergic reactions to black cohosh. Individuals taking anticoagulants, hormone replacement therapy or other medications that may interact should consult their physician before starting Menofem.
