Aprecap 125/80 Capsule is a combination of two different doses of Aprepitant. It works by blocking the action of a chemical messenger in the brain that may cause nausea and vomiting during treatment with anti-cancer medicines.

Aprecap 125/80 Capsule is taken alongside other medicines to help stop sickness (nausea and vomiting) after chemotherapy. Try to sip water regularly to prevent dehydration. If you are taking any contraceptive 'pill' at the same time as this medicine, the effectiveness of the 'pill' can be reduced if you have a bout of being sick (vomiting) which lasts for more than 24 hours. In such a case, ask your doctor for additional contraceptive precautions. Even if you do not feel like eating or drinking, try to sip water regularly to prevent dehydration. If you are taking any other medicines, let your healthcare team know as some may affect or be affected by this medicine.
