Veralipride is primarily used in the treatment of menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes and other vasomotor disturbances. It acts as a dopamine antagonist, helping to regulate hormonal imbalances that contribute to these symptoms. The compound is often prescribed to women who cannot undergo hormone replacement therapy due to medical contraindications. Additionally, it has been explored for its potential in managing certain psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety and mood disorders, owing to its effects on dopamine receptors. However, its use is carefully monitored due to potential side effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms.
