Emend Tri Pack comes in the form of capsules to take orally by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor. Swallow the capsules whole without crushing and chewing it. Emend Tri Pack should not be taken for longer than 3 consecutive days during each cycle of chemotherapy.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. In children, the dosage is also based on weight. Follow your doctor’s instructions for when to take each dose, how long to keep taking it, and the strength (number of milligrams) of each dose.
Take the first dose as directed by your doctor, usually 1 hour before the start of chemotherapy. For the next 2 days, continue to take a dose once daily 1 hour before the start of treatment if you are getting chemotherapy that day. If you are not getting any chemotherapy, then take the dose once daily in the morning.
The Tri-Pack contains 2 capsules of EMEND 80 mg and 1 capsule of EMEND 125 mg. The recommended dose for the 3-day oral regimen is 125 mg orally 1 hour before chemotherapy on day 1, and 80 mg orally once daily on days 2 and 3.
If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Emend Tri Pack capsules, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Emend Tri Pack capsules without consulting your doctor.
