Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • Have liver problems.
  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if Emend for Injection can harm your unborn baby.
    Women who use birth control medicines containing hormones to prevent pregnancy (these can include birth control pills, skin patches, implants, and certain IUDs) during treatment with Emend for Injection and for up to 1 month after using Emend for Injection should also use a back-up method of birth control to prevent pregnancy.
  • Are breast-feeding. It is not known if Emend for Injection 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 nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Emend for Injection may cause serious life-threatening reactions if used with certain medicines.

Some medicines can affect Emend for Injection. Emend for Injection may also affect some medicines, including chemotherapy, causing them to work differently in your body.

Your doctor may check to make sure your other medicines are working correctly while you are taking Emend for Injection. People who take warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) may need to have blood tests after each 3-day treatment to check their blood clotting.
