AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
EMEND (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) is an intravenous NK1 receptor antagonist approved in 2008 for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It works by blocking substance P/neurokinin 1 receptors in the brain, crossing the blood-brain barrier to prevent both acute and delayed emesis in cancer patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy. The drug augments existing antiemetic therapies like ondansetron and dexamethasone.
