Fosaprepitant dimeglumine 150 mg powder for solution for infusion.
Fosaprepitant is the prodrug of aprepitant and when administered intravenously is converted rapidly to aprepitant. The contribution of fosaprepitant to the overall antiemetic effect has not fully been characterised, but a transient contribution during the initial phase cannot be ruled out. Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist at human substance P neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors. The pharmacological effect of fosaprepitant is attributed to aprepitant.
