Lurbinectedin-induced nausea can be managed through various strategies. Antiemetic medications are commonly used to alleviate nausea and vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, including those receiving lurbinectedin treatment. These medications work by targeting the areas of the brain responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. Patients may be prescribed medications such as ondansetron, aprepitant, or other antiemetics to help control these symptoms. It is important for patients to communicate with their healthcare team about the severity of their nausea to receive appropriate management. Additionally, non-pharmacological approaches like ginger supplements, acupuncture, or dietary modifications may also be considered to help alleviate nausea associated with lurbinectedin treatment [3][2][1].
