Corticosteroids as Antiemetics

- Summary

Abstract

Although several antiemetic agents can exert some control of cancer chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting, none is totally effective. As in many other instances of medical treatment, combinations of drugs will probably prove the best means of controlling the situation. We need agents that can be safely combined and that provide at least an additive protective effect. This paper demonstrates that corticosteroids are a significant addition to antiemetic therapy.
