Emvoid 150Mg Inj

Emvoid 150Mg Inj 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) in patients six months of age and above. 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.

Emvoid 150Mg Inj contains Aprepitant, a neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonist which works by blocking neurokinin-1 receptors (causes the feeling of sickness) present in the vomiting centre in the brain. Thus, it helps prevent nausea and vomiting. 

Emvoid 150Mg Inj will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Emvoid 150Mg Inj may cause common side effects such as weakness, tiredness, diarrhoea, urinary tract infection, pain in arms and legs, or indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, consult your doctor immediately if the side effects persist or worsen.

• Eat a healthy and low-fat diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables, skinless poultry, lean meats, nuts, fish, whole grains, and plant-based oils, especially in small portions, as it will be easy for digestion.
• Avoid eating over-sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting. 
• Increase the intake of fluids. Drink a small amount of water after small intervals to stay hydrated. 
• Avoid taking greasy or oily foods, as these foods trigger nausea and vomiting.
