Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of olanzapine, an antipsychotic, in reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in Indian patients undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy, addressing a gap in existing research.
- - In a randomized, controlled trial with 100 patients, those treated with olanzapine showed significantly better control of vomiting and less severe nausea compared to those receiving standard antiemetic therapy (palonosetron and dexamethasone).
- - The results indicate that olanzapine enhances the quality of life for patients undergoing chemotherapy, despite causing some sedation, but no serious side effects were reported, marking it as an effective option for managing CINV.
