How it Works

How Aprepitant Works Aprepitant is an antiemetic medication that functions by blocking the action of a chemical messenger, known as neurokinin, in the brain. This action helps to prevent nausea and vomiting that may occur during anti-cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy.

  • It will not be effective if you already have nausea and vomiting.
  • Do not use it continuously for an extended period.
  • It is recommended to take Aprepitant 1 hour before chemotherapy treatment on Day 1.
  • Take Aprepitant in the morning on Days 2 and 3.
  • Aprepitant may affect sperm and could harm the baby if used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
