ANZEMET® Tablets
(dolasetron mesylate)

ANZEMET (dolasetron mesylate) is an antinauseant and antiemetic agent.

ANZEMET Tablets are indicated for:

Published Studies Related to Anzemet (Dolasetron)

A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of dolasetron, a 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonist, in patients with fibromyalgia. [2011.05]
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dolasetron for symptomatic relief of pain associated with fibromyalgia (FM)... CONCLUSION: Intermittent IV dolasetron was safe and efficacious for the reduction of pain intensity associated with FM at 3 months.

Inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8 compared with 0.4 does not further reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting in dolasetron-treated patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. [2006.11]
BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the most frequent complications after general anaesthesia. Single-dose antiemetic prophylaxis has limited efficacy in high-risk patients. Adding a simple potential antiemetic approach, such as increasing the inspired oxygen fraction, to the antiemetic portfolio would preserve pharmacological interventions for treatment of symptoms in the postoperative period. However, the antiemetic effect of a high inspired oxygen fraction is still discussed controversially. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether an inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8 decreases PONV in patients receiving the 5-HT(3)-antagonist dolasetron... CONCLUSIONS: An inspired oxygen fraction of 0.8 does not further decrease PONV or vomiting in dolasetron-treated patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The lower incidence of PONV in Groups A and B compared with Group C is most likely caused by the omission of nitrous oxide.

Prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting with granisetron and dolasetron in relation to CYP2D6 genotype. [2006.04]
We investigated the efficacy of granisetron and dolasetron in preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting. Because the metabolism of the various antiemetic 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) antagonists involves different isoforms of the hepatic cytochrome P450 system, we examined the relationship between the clinical efficacy of these drugs and polymorphic cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) genotype...

Prophylactic intravenous ondansetron and dolasetron in intrathecal morphine-induced pruritus: a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. [2005.11]
Pruritus is the most common side effect of intrathecal morphine for postoperative pain relief...

Dolasetron versus ondansetron for the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. [2005.02]
The management of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) remains a persistent problem... Because of the decreased use of rescue antiemetics and acquisition cost at our hospital, costs in the dolasetron group were less than costs in the ondansetron group.

Clinical Trials Related to Anzemet (Dolasetron)

Efficacy of Dolasetron in Patients With Fibromyalgia [Completed]
This study offers a new treatment, dolasetron or ANZEMET ®, which will be administered by intravenous way once a day during a 4 days Hospitalization. This study is double blind (neither you nor the physician will know if you are receiving active study drug or placebo). Randomisation at the beginning of the study will decide whether you receive active treatment or its placebo. This treatment will be renewed after one month, after 2 months and after 3 months. If the study staff determines that you are eligible and you decide to participate, there will be approximately 6 study visits in about 9 months. During these visits, you will undergo routine health exams and complete different kinds of questionnaires. Following this first period of 3 months, you agree to come back for consultation at month 4, month 6 and month 12 for monitoring and evaluating the effects of treatment.

The Pharmacokinetic Interaction Between Oral Casopitant and Oral Dolasetron, Granisetron or Rosiglitazone in Subjects [Completed]

A Korean Study of Efficacy and Safety of Aprepitant-based Triple Regimen for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in the First Cycle of Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy (Non-doxorubicin Hydrochloride [Adriamycin] and Cyclophosphamide Regimens) (MK-0869-225) (KMEC) [Completed]
This is an efficacy and safety study to compare aprepitant with ondansetron for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in the first cycle of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) in participants with solid tumors. MECs include a number of commonly used cancer chemotherapeutic drugs including: oxaliplatin-based, irinotecan-based, and carboplatin-based regimens. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the Aprepitant Regimen is superior to the Control (ondansetron) Regimen with respect to the percentage of participants with No Vomiting Overall (in the 120 hours following initiation of MEC) in participants with solid tumors.

Comparison of Antiemetic Drugs in Preventing Delayed Nausea After Chemotherapy in Patients With Cancer [Completed]
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs may help to reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients being treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing how well different antiemetic drugs work in preventing delayed nausea after chemotherapy in patients who have cancer.

Acupressure and Acustimulation Wrist Bands for the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Chemotherapy [Completed]
RATIONALE: Pressure or nerve stimulation applied to an acupuncture point on the inside of the wrist may help control nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of acupressure and acustimulation wrist bands in treating nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.
