About Artepitant 150mg Injection
Artepitant 150mg Injection belongs to a class of drugs called anti-emetics. It is used in combination with other medicines to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy (anti-cancer medicines). Nausea is a feeling of uneasiness in the stomach that often comes before vomiting. On the other hand, vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of stomach contents through the mouth.
Artepitant 150mg Injection contains Fosaprepitant, a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist which is converted to aprepitant in the body. It works by blocking neurokinin 1 receptors (causes a feeling of sickness) present in the vomiting centre in the brain. Thus, it helps prevent nausea and vomiting.
