Hi and thanks for your query.

While you have hot flashes that are a side effect of LUPRON use you can discuss with your follow doctor for the use of hormonal therapy .

Two of the most popular treatments for hot flashes are derived from just such a hormone: progesterone.
Megestrol Acetate – 20 milligrams twice a day for 4 weeks
Medroxyprogesterone Acetat - similar

While for patches and shots I haven't information.

All the best .
