Anticancer drugs are imported drugs approved by the FDA. Compared with other chemotherapy and antiemetic drugs, they have better efficacy, fewer adverse reactions, and better tolerance. Aprepitant is the first highly selective affinity antagonist of substance P neurokinin 1 (NK-1) receptors; it can occupy NK-1 receptors in the brain through the blood-brain barrier, inhibit acute and delayed vomiting caused by cisplatin, and enhance the antiemetic activity of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist ondansetron and glucocorticoids against cisplatin-induced vomiting.

Aprepitant is used in combination with other antiemetic drugs; it is used once a day for three consecutive days and one hour before chemotherapy. It should be noted that the dosage is 125 mg on the first day, and only 80 mg on the second and third days, and you can choose whether to take it with food. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to adjust the dosage.

Aprepitant capsules can also be taken orally together with dexamethasone and granisetron intravenously. Granisetron only needs to be used on the first day, and the effect is better. In addition, vomiting patients also need to maintain a good mood, eat soft liquid foods that can be changed frequently and are easy to digest, and ensure sleep time and quality.
