Representative physical symptoms of menopause, a period of physical and psychological changes as the secretion of estrogen, a female hormone, decreases before and after menopause, include facial flushing, sweating, and joint pain, and psychological symptoms include insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Among them, sleep disorders are the most common symptom of menopausal women. The decrease in female hormones causes night-time facial flushing and night-time sweating, which causes sleep disorders such as insomnia. In other words, night sweats and facial flushing symptoms that occur in bed interfere with deep sleep.
According to a survey conducted by Hankook Research in 2024, 47.8% of women aged 40 to 64 who experienced menopausal symptoms suffered insomnia, and 64.9% of them complained of severe discomfort that greatly deteriorated their quality of life.
Chronic insomnia is known to increase the risk of depression, anxiety disorders, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and increase the risk of dementia three times. In addition, menopause not only causes discomfort in daily life with symptoms such as sleep disorders, but also can lead to chronic diseases such as urinary incontinence, cystitis, and osteoporosis if left unattended, so early management is important.
Dongkuk Pharmaceutical announced that the menopausal treatment 'FrahminQ' is a combination of Western horseback riding and St. John's Wort ingredient that improves physical and psychological symptoms of menopause at the same time. In particular, St. John's Wort contains more than twice the amount of melatonin, a biological hormone that induces natural sleep by controlling sleep and arousal rhythms in the human body, which is more effective in improving sleep disorders. In particular, peraminQ is a generic drug with herbal ingredients, not a hormone drug, and has been proven to be effective and safe through clinical research, and it has been ranked No. 1 in sales (based on IQVIA data) of generic drug menopausal treatment in Korea for 15 consecutive years.
"If menopausal symptoms are treated only as natural aging and left unattended, it can lead to various chronic diseases afterward," said an official from Dongguk Pharmaceutical"Especially for women in their 40s and 60s who have difficulty falling asleep every night, please do not pass it over due to the heat and actively manage it with proven drugs as it may be an early symptom of menopause."
