FAQs about Emend
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Emend, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose. This information is provided in the Patient Counseling Information section of the label.
Can I take Emend while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Emend during pregnancy should be discussed with your healthcare provider, as the effects on an unborn baby are not fully known. It is also not clear if Emend passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding mothers should consult their healthcare provider before using this medication. This information is found in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label.
How should I store Emend?
Emend should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container and out of reach of children. This storage information is detailed in the Storage section of the label.
