Detailed Information

Introduction

Aprecap 125mg/80mg capsule contains aprepitant, an NK1 receptor antagonist medication used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in adults and children aged 12 years and older. This medicine works by blocking specific brain signals that trigger nausea and vomiting during cancer treatment. It is always prescribed as part of a combination therapy with other anti-nausea medications for maximum effectiveness.

Before taking Aprecap, inform your doctor about all current medications, supplements, and health conditions. This medicine may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, so discuss alternative birth control options with your healthcare provider. Do not use this medication if you are allergic to aprepitant or any ingredient in the capsule.

Key points

  • Belongs to NK1 receptor antagonist drug class

Therapeutic Uses
