Veralipride is a substituted benzamide antidopaminergic agent that blocks dopamine D2 receptors, developed for the management of menopausal hot flashes as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy. It was withdrawn in several countries due to adverse neurological effects including tardive dyskinesia and other extrapyramidal symptoms associated with its dopamine antagonist mechanism. Its use demonstrated the role of dopaminergic pathways in thermoregulation.
