Women who participated in this study randomly used one of the two flowering plants and the vitagnus tablet or placebo twice a day for one month. Copperman's questionnaire was used to measure menopausal hot flash. At the end of a month, the results were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics using SPSS software.

However, in reducing the intensity of hot flashes, the two plants had no superiority compared to each other (p = 0.6). Conclusion: Evening Primrose oil is more effective compared to Vitagnes in reducing hot flashes in women. CP - IRAN IN - LG - eng PB - JABS PG - 2136 PT - Research YR - 2020
