Dolasetron
Dolasetron is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery. It works by blocking specific signals in the brain that trigger these symptoms, particularly serotonin receptors involved in the vomiting reflex. Dolasetron is usually administered as an injection or oral tablet and is effective in reducing nausea associated with cancer treatments. While generally well-tolerated, it can have side effects like headaches or dizziness and may carry a risk of increased cardiac events in some patients. It's important to use dolasetron under medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
