Popis: | Nausea and vomiting are major limitations in cancer chemotherapy. Individual susceptibility to nausea varies enormously. There is no ideal antiemetic, but some work with some chemotherapeutic agents, and some are more effective in younger patients. This article describes a flexible, stepped approach using the phenothiazines, metoclopramide, cannabinoids, anticholinergics, antihistamines and others. |
