Amberen is not a medication rather a dietary supplement. The claims have been made that it has been tested properly and is efficacious. But dietary supplements does not undergo vigorous clinical testing as mandated for FDA for drugs.
So if the Amberen over the counter product doesn't work, I would advise you to consult doctor and get prescriptions that will help in reducing your hot flashes. You will be prescribed estrogen containing medications and they are prescription drugs and not over the counter ones.
Hope the above information helps.
