FAQs

What is Menosan Sage Oral Drops used for?
+

A.Vogel Menosan Sage Oral Drops are a THR-registered herbal medicine for the symptomatic relief of excessive sweating associated with the menopause — including hot flushes and night sweats. As a formally licensed product, its use in this context is recognised by the MHRA based on Sage's long-standing traditional association with perspiration control in European herbal medicine.

Why is Sage associated with sweating in herbal medicine?
+

Sage (Salvia officinalis) has a uniquely specific tradition in European herbal medicine relating to perspiration, referenced long before the hormonal changes of the menopause were clinically understood. The word "Salvia" derives from the Latin for "to save" or "to heal" — reflecting how highly regarded this herb was in traditional medicine. Its use for excessive sweating is one of the most specific and enduring single-herb traditions in European botanical medicine.

What is the difference between Menosan Sage Oral Drops and Menoforce Sage Tablets?
+

Both products are based on Sage (Salvia officinalis) for menopausal sweating and hot flushes, and both carry THR registration. The key difference is format. Menosan is a liquid tincture in oral drops format — it contains alcohol, allows flexible dosing in drop increments, and delivers the fresh Sage herb as a tincture. Menoforce is a tablet — alcohol-free, fixed-dose, and convenient as a one-a-day format. The choice between them is primarily one of personal format preference and alcohol tolerance.

How long before I notice the effect of Menosan Sage Drops?
+

Consistent daily use for four to eight weeks is generally recommended before assessing the full benefit of Sage-based preparations for menopausal sweating. Individual responses vary significantly — some women notice improvement within the first two weeks; others require a longer consistent course. Hormonal symptoms are inherently variable and individual responses to herbal preparations reflect this.

Can I take Menosan Sage Drops alongside HRT?
+

Consult your GP or pharmacist before combining Menosan Sage Oral Drops with HRT or any other hormone-related prescribed medication. Your GP can advise on suitability based on your specific HRT formulation and health circumstances.

Does this product contain alcohol?
+

Yes. Menosan Sage Oral Drops contain ethanol as the tincture base. If you need to avoid alcohol for medical, religious, or personal reasons, consider the Menoforce Sage Tablets instead — they provide the same Sage-based THR traditional use in an alcohol-free tablet format.

Is there a daily dose limit I must not exceed for Sage?
+

Yes. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose stated on the product label. Excessive intake of Sage (beyond the recommended dose) may cause adverse effects including convulsions in susceptible individuals due to the thujone content of Sage essential oil. At the stated recommended dose, this product is safe — do not increase the dose beyond what is specified.

Is Menosan Sage Drops suitable during pregnancy?
+

No. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Sage in medicinal quantities has not been evaluated for safety during pregnancy and the product contains alcohol. Consult your GP or midwife.
