This medicine is one pill and with insurance it's costing me 70$.

They didn't prescribe it for the night before, they handed it to me in pre-op. I have a history of serious nausea and vomiting post op so they did several things to try and combat that pre-emptively. I had zero nausea and vomiting, so something helped, I don't know if it was the emend or something else they did. But if the emend had anything to do with it, I'd gladly pay $70 to keep from throwing up post op.

I made a post about this just a few days ago, apparently some people get it and some don't. I'm with @@theantichick

I got a script for this and it was $115 for one pill. My surgery is tomorrow and I picked it up today (if you're going to get it filled make sure you drop it off early, my pharmacy had to order it)

From what I've heard and the online reviews it helps massively with post op nausea. My doc made it clear that I don't HAVE to take it, but I'm willing to spend the $$ if it will help!

Thank you for the advice. I was allittle shocked at the price. But, I am going to have it filled. It's worth it if it takes the nausea away.

I took my one pill on the way to the hospital. The goal was 1 1/2-3 hours before surgery. I had zero nausea but don't know if it was due to the pill or I was just not going to have any nausea. I did have to go to 3 pharmacies before I found one at Kroger pharmacy!

Did they tell you the night before? Mine says 3 hours before surgery as well.
