Nausea is an uneasy stomach feeling that comes in waves and often precedes vomiting, where the body forcefully expels stomach contents through the mouth. Triggers include taste, anxiety, smell, pain, or stomach irritation. Cancer patients often experience nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Controlling these symptoms is crucial for daily functioning, as unmanaged nausea and vomiting can lead to mental changes, loss of appetite, malnutrition, and dehydration.
Onaseron, a serotonin subtype 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, is indicated for:
- Preventing nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.
- Preventing and treating post-operative nausea and vomiting.
- Preventing radiotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
