What makes ALOXI different?

ALOXI® is an antinausea medication known as a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that prevents chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) after certain chemotherapies. It works by blocking the antinausea signal to the brain. With some 5-HT3 drugs, patients need to take multiple doses after chemotherapy to help prevent nausea and vomiting. Not so with ALOXI.

Just one dose of ALOXI may help prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. A single IV dose before treatment can give you up to 5 days of strength against certain types of CINV.

This means you may not need to take any additional oral medications for nausea on the days following chemotherapy.

For certain types of chemotherapy, ALOXI effectively controls:

  • Acute CINV: occurs on the same day as chemotherapy treatment, especially within the first 24 hours
  • Delayed CINV: occurs on the days following chemotherapy, usually within 24 to 72 hours

Indication

ALOXI is used in adults to help prevent the nausea and vomiting that can happen on the day of treatment with certain chemotherapies or occur days later following chemotherapies moderately likely to cause nausea and vomiting.

Important Safety Information

  • Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking other medications or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • The most common side effects of ALOXI® for the prevention of CINV are headache and constipation

For more information about ALOXI talk to your doctor or see Full Prescribing Information.
