Generic Name: fosaprepitant
Brand Name: Emend intravenous
I get this med through iv during my chemo therapy. It does not relieve my nausea. I have to take other nausea meds with it.
Using the 3 day pan, and have had no nausea, vomiting, and have in fact seen none of the side effects of this medicine until the the 4th chemotherapy treatment when I was really tired, however no where near incapacitate
This drug could of killed me...It affected my breathing and my heart..Very scary
I have Breast Cancer & this is my 1st time on this medicine, but I have to say I like it, do to I don't have Nausea & Vomiting, The only side effect I didn't like was the Painful UTI but I found out if I took my Crandberry Pills 3 days before Chemo & after Chemo while I was on this medicine, I didn't have the painful UTI. But other wise I'm not sick in bed like some people are from Chemo, I get up and go for my walk every day after Chemo, then go to work while I was taking this medicine.
