I understand. The antinausea drug Anzemet (dolasetron mesylate), is a miracle, especially when mixed with the chemo IV.

No side effects, immediate relief. None of the awful throw-ups that most people associate with chemo. The biggest drawback to this wonder pill is that it costs about $74 a pill. Some insurance companies will only allow about 5 a month, due to the extreme cost. AND some Doctors know that the patient's insurance will not cover this expensive drug, BUT if there is a nice Oncologist (or his Nurse) out there, he can pass out "samples".

Saltines are good..too!

Anzemet (dolasetron mesylate) makes one very drowsy as most anti-emetics do. It is also VERY expensive and not covered by insurance
