Abstract Objective To observe the curative effect and adverse reaction of aprepitant in alleviating nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. Methods 80 patients with cisplatin chemotherapy were randomly divided into study group and control group. The study group used aprepitant combined with the ondansetron hydrochloride, dexamethasone. The control group received palonosetron hydrochlorid combined with ondansetron hydrochloride, and dexamethasone. The curative effect and adverse reactions in the two groups were observed. Results In the study group, complete remission rate and nausea vomiting control rates were 80% and 77.5% respectively, compared with 47.5% and 37.5% in the control group, there was statistically significant difference (P<0.01). In the two groups, the most adverse reactions mainly included constipation, diarrhea, hiccups, anorexia, fatigue, insomnia, transaminase and elevation, were mild. Conclusions Aprepitant has obvious preventive effect on chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, and has clinical application prospects.
