Emend
Anzemet, 100 mg once a day during chemo. They worked at first, but now not so much. They are sugesting a med called "Emend" has anyone been on it or heard of any issues.
Thanks,

Emend
Hi duane,
Congrats on completing four rounds! Yes I have heard of this anti nausea med. I have heard that is works very well. I am a caregiver for my dad. He has beat esophageal cancer and is now fighting liver cancer. He uses promethazine. Have you tried ground ginger,or ginger ale? Good luck.

Husband used Emend for each of his 4 rounds of chemo. He was only allowed 1 pill every 24 hrs for the first 3 days of his chemo.....he rounds of chemo consisted of 120 continuous hours. It was a cure all for him but it definitely helped. Good luck to you.
