Before you take Emend, tell your doctor if you:

Have liver problems.
Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Emend can harm your unborn baby.
Women who use birth control medicines containing hormones to prevent pregnancy (birth control pills, skin patches, implants, and certain IUDs) should also use a back-up method of birth control during treatment with Emend and for up to 1 month after using Emend to prevent pregnancy.
Are breast-feeding. It is not known if Emend passes into your milk and if it can harm your baby.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking or plan to take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Emend may cause serious life-threatening reactions if used with certain medicines. See the section “Who should not take Emend?”

Emend may affect how other medicines work, and other medicines may affect how Emend works. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before you take any new medicine. They can tell you if it is safe to take the medicine with Emend.

Know the medicines you take. Keep a list of them to show your doctor or pharmacist when you get a new medicine.
