Aprepitant is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy.
MFDS ingredient code M211076
Aprepitant is a drug that blocks the neuropeptide substance P receptor, neurokinin 1 (NK1), and is primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy. This component belongs to the class of antiemetics and is included in medications for its efficacy in effectively suppressing nausea and vomiting.
Aprepitant prevents the action of substance P, a neuropeptide that binds to NK1 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, thereby blocking the signals of nausea and vomiting. This reduces nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, alleviating the patient's discomfort.
Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
Aprepitant is characterized by its targeting of NK1 receptors to prevent nausea and vomiting, unlike existing serotonin receptor antagonists. As a result, it can provide more effective suppression of nausea when used in combination with other antiemetics.
Even with the same ingredient, strength, dosage form and how it is taken can differ.
