Did anyone get a prescription for Emend to take pre op for nausea?



Recommended Posts

My dr gave me this and said to take one pill 3 hours before surgery. Apparently it really helps with post op nausea but it's expensive any my insurance won't cover it.

Did anyone else use this? What were your results like?

Thanks!

My husband and I have had no nausea in three years.

I took it, I believe the one pill was $50. I took it and never had any nausea.

I got a scopolamine patch in the pre-op area, it did the job and is a very cheap option.

They gave anti nausea meds in IV and they worked like a charm. Not an inkling of nausea

I took emend prep, the night before surgery. I also got scheduled zofran IV post op in the hospital and zofran ODTs (dissolvable) for use at home. My perception of nausea is totally different than prep.

I forgot they put the scopolamine patch on in OR. They blur my vision terribly and effect my balance. I "accidentally " removed it as soon as I was aware postop.

I took it but only cause my insurance paid for it 100%. I didn't have any nausea but have no idea if it was from the pill or not. I've never been nauseous or thrown up 8 weeks out.

Yes, I did. It may have helped. I didn't feel nauseated until the day after surgery but I had zofran and a transdermal patch to help with that.

It cost $35 through insurance. I had hit my prescription deductible for the year by that time so it's very possible it would have cost me a lot more if I hadn't.

I had both Emend and the patch and have had NO nausea at all. It's expensive for one pill, but I felt it was worth it.

Totally worth it. My doc said there was a shortage of the drug a few months ago and the nausea complaints increased significantly after surgery. It worked for me.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
