Fosaprepitant

Fosaprepitant is a medication used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy treatments. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that trigger feelings of nausea. Fosaprepitant is a prodrug, meaning it converts into its active form, aprepitant, after administration. It is typically given as an injection before chemotherapy sessions and helps improve patients' comfort and compliance with cancer treatments. It is often used alongside other anti-nausea medications for more effective management of chemotherapy-induced nausea.
