Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
EMEND (Aprepitant) is prescribed to treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). EMEND is typically prescribed by oncologists and administered during chemotherapy regimens.
EMEND is used in combination with other antiemetics in patients taking moderately or highly emetic chemotherapy regimens.
EMEND works by blocking substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. NK1 receptors generate feelings of nausea and vomiting. EMEND blocks these receptors to prevent CINV.
EMEND should be taken exactly as directed by the oncologist.
EMEND can be taken with or without food. Do not crush or open the capsules; swallow them whole.
EMEND is usually taken on the following schedule:
The active ingredient in EMEND is aprepitant.
There are many possible drug interactions when taking EMEND. Some of the examples may include:
Do not take EMEND for long periods. It should only be used for short amounts of time when receiving chemotherapy.
EMEND side effects may include the following:
