默沙东阿瑞匹坦是医保用药吗？

Merck received marketing authorization from the United States and the European Union in 2003. It is used in combination with other anti-vomiting drugs to prevent acute or delayed nausea and vomiting that occurs during initial or repeated chemotherapy for highly or moderately emetic tumors.

Merck's aprepitant blocks the effects of substance P by binding to NK-1 receptors (mainly found in the central nervous system and its periphery), and can pass through the blood-brain barrier and occupy NK-1 receptors in the brain. It has selectivity and high affinity, but has very low affinity for NK-2 and NK-3 receptors. At the same time, its affinity for the targets of other drugs used to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting symptoms (such as dopamine receptors and 5-HT receptors) is also very low, and its effect in reducing nausea and vomiting is better than other drugs.

In addition to prescription drug business, Merck also includes animal health business in China. Nearly 50 veterinary products cover various fields such as disease prevention, treatment and control of livestock, poultry and pets, and are committed to protecting and caring for animal health and the health of humans who share weal and woe with them.

Is MSD aprepitant a medical insurance drug?

It is understood that it has not yet been included in medical insurance and is a self-paid drug for patients. Aprepitant is relatively expensive in China, and many patients use the version marketed abroad. If you need aprepitant, you can always consult Medical Companion Travel for relevant matters!
