Article Synopsis
  • Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic that helps prevent nausea and vomiting, particularly after highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC), but it can cause side effects like hyperglycemia and drowsiness.
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of olanzapine combined with standard triplet antiemetic therapy compared to triplet therapy alone, focusing on outcomes like nausea control and adverse effects.
  • Results showed that adding olanzapine significantly improved nausea and vomiting prevention in both acute and delayed phases with minimal adverse effects, indicating it can be beneficial for patients undergoing HEC.
