How do I take Emend?

Emend capsules may be taken with or without food and are usually prescribed in threes. They are taken once daily for three or four days in a row, depending on the severity of the chemotherapy. The first Emend capsule should be taken prior to surgery or chemotherapy. Follow your doctor’s instructions for your particular situation. You will be prescribed a combination of 40mg, 80mg and 125mg doses. The first dose is usually the largest. This medication may sometimes be prescribed along with other antiemetic drugs.
