| | Advances in antiemetic pharmacology |
 | | With the clinical succes of ondansetron, much of the recent research involving antiemetics has focused on the development of other 5-HT -antagonists which might be effective antiemetics. | | | We studied the antiemetic effect of dexamethasone in a prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study in females who underwent general anesthesia for major gynecological surgery and used a IV-PCA with morphine in the postoperative period. | | | Unless NK -antagonist have multiple sites of action, the most economical explanation of their efficacy is that there is a common, NK receptor-mediated link in the reflex pathway for all the emetogens tested. |

| | To address issues surrounding the medical uses of marijuana, the National Institutes of Health convened a meeting in February 1997 to review the scientific data concerning its potential therapeutic uses and explore the need for additional research. | | | Although patients usually receive antiemetics, drugs that help control nausea and vomiting, there is no single best approach to reducing these symptoms in all patients. | | | National Cancer Institute (NCI) scientists feel that other antiemetic drugs or combinations of antiemetic drugs have been shown to be more effective than synthetic THC as “first-line therapy” for nausea and vomiting caused by anticancer drugs. |
