My 88 yr old father had prostate surgery 18 yrs ago. About 5 yrs ago, his PSA was up enough that he was started on Lupron shots every 3-4 mos. and still takes these. He is having about 1 hot flash every hr and is very bothered by this. He is also on Aricept & Neumenda for dementia and 2 81 mg coated aspirin to prevent heart attack & stroke. Are these hot flashes normal for him? Is there anything that he can safely take for them? Thank you!
