Directions for Use

Storage and disposal

Store injection at room temperature, between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius. Protect from light. Do not freeze. Dispose of unused product according to hospital protocols.

Quick Tips

  • This medication provides long-lasting prevention against nausea for several days
  • Continue other anti-nausea measures as directed by your doctor
  • Increase fluid and fibre intake to prevent constipation
  • Inform your doctor of all medications, especially heart medications
  • Report any chest pain or irregular heartbeat immediately

Dosage

Overdose may cause constipation or other side effects. As this is administered in a medical setting, emergency treatment is readily available if needed.

Missed a Dose

injection is administered by healthcare professionals as part of the treatment regimen, so missed doses are managed by the medical team.

How does this medicine work?

Chemotherapy and surgery cause the body to release a natural chemical called serotonin, which sends signals to the brain that trigger nausea and vomiting. Palonosetron blocks the effect of serotonin at these signalling points in the gut and brain, preventing the nausea and vomiting signal from getting through.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines that affect mood or serotonin levels, such as certain antidepressants, as combining them can rarely cause a serious reaction with symptoms like agitation, a fast heartbeat, or high body temperature. No significant interaction with standard chemotherapy medicines.

Interactions with food items

No food interactions expected as this is administered intravenously.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

A single injection provides protection against nausea and vomiting for up to 7 days, making it particularly effective for delayed emesis from chemotherapy.
Use with caution and only as directed by your doctor, as combining similar anti-sickness medicines may increase side effects.
