<!--Adverse Reactions-->
 
<!--Clinical Trials Experience-->
|clinicalTrials=* In controlled clinical trials, 943 adult cancer patients received ANZEMET Tablets. These patients were receiving concurrent chemotherapy, predominantly cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin regimens. The following adverse events were reported in ≥2% of patients receiving either ANZEMET 25 mg or ANZEMET 100 mg tablets for prevention of cancer chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in controlled clinical trials (Table 3).
 
[[File:Dolasetron table3.png|thumb|none|600px|This image is provided by the National Library of Medicine.]]
 
* In clinical trials, the following reported adverse events, assessed by investigators as treatment-related or causality unknown, occurred following oral or intravenous administration of ANZEMET in < 2% of adult patients receiving concomitant cancer chemotherapy:
 
'''Cardiovascular''':
 
* [[Hypotension]]; [[edema]], [[peripheral edema]]. The following events also occurred and with a similar frequency as placebo and/or active comparator: Mobitz I AV block, [[chest pain]], orthostatic hypotension, [[myocardial ischemia]], [[syncope]], severe [[bradycardia]], and palpitations.
 
* In addition, the following asymptomatic treatment-emergent ECG changes were seen at rates less than or equal to those for active or placebo controls: bradycardia, T wave change, ST-T wave change, sinus arrhythmia, extrasystole (APCs or VPCs), poor R-wave progression, bundle branch block (left and right), nodal arrhythmia, U wave change, atrial flutter/fibrillation.
 
* Furthermore, severe [[hypotension]], [[bradycardia]] and [[syncope]] have been reported immediately or closely following IV administration.
 
'''Dermatologic''': [[Rash]], increased sweating.
 
'''Gastrointestinal System''': [[Constipation]], [[dyspepsia]], [[abdominal pain]], [[anorexia]]; [[pancreatitis]].
 
'''Hearing, Taste and Vision''': Taste perversion, abnormal vision, [[tinnitus]], [[photophobia]].
 
'''Hematologic''': [[Hematuria]], [[epistaxis]], prothrombin time prolonged, PTT increased, [[anemia]], [[purpura]]/hematoma, [[thrombocytopenia]].
 
'''Hypersensitivity''': [[Anaphylactic reaction]], facial [[edema]], [[urticaria]].
 
'''Liver and Biliary System''': Transient increases in AST (SGOT) and/or ALT (SGPT) values have been reported as adverse events in less than 1% of adult patients receiving ANZEMET in clinical trials. The increases did not appear to be related to dose or duration of therapy and were not associated with symptomatic hepatic disease. Similar increases were seen with patients receiving active comparator. [[Hyperbilirubinemia]], increased GGT.
 
'''Metabolic and Nutritional''': Alkaline phosphatase increased.
 
'''Musculoskeletal''': [[Myalgia]], [[arthralgia]].
 
'''Nervous System: Flushing''', [[vertigo]], [[paresthesia]], [[tremor]]; [[ataxia]], twitching.
 
'''Psychiatric''': Agitation, sleep disorder, depersonalization; confusion, [[anxiety]], abnormal dreaming.
 
'''Respiratory System''': [[Dyspnea]], bronchospasm.
 
Urinary System: Dysuria, polyuria, acute renal failure.
 
Vascular (Extracardiac): Local pain or burning on IV administration; peripheral ischemia, thrombophlebitis/phlebitis.

<!--Overdosage-->
|overdose=* There is no known specific antidote for dolasetron mesylate, and patients with suspected overdose should be managed with supportive therapy. Individual doses as large as 5 mg/kg intravenously or 400 mg orally have been safely given to healthy volunteers or cancer patients.
 
* Following a suspected overdose of ANZEMET Injection, a patient found to have second-degree or higher AV conduction block with ECG should undergo cardiac telemetry monitoring.
 
* It is not known if dolasetron mesylate is removed by hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
 
* Single intravenous doses of dolasetron mesylate at 160 mg/kg in male mice and 140 mg/kg in female mice and rats of both sexes (6.3 to 12.6 times the recommended human dose based on body surface area) were lethal. Symptoms of acute toxicity were tremors, depression and convulsions.
 
* A 59-year-old man with metastatic melanoma and no known pre-existing cardiac conditions developed severe hypotension and dizziness 40 minutes after receiving a 15 minute intravenous infusion of 1000 mg (13 mg/kg) of dolasetron mesylate. Treatment for the overdose consisted of infusion of 500 mL of a plasma expander, dopamine, and atropine. The patient had normal sinus rhythm and prolongation of PR, QRS and QTc intervals on an ECG recorded 2 hours after the infusion. The patient's blood pressure was normal 3 hours after the event and the ECG intervals returned to baseline on follow-up. The patient was released from the hospital 6 hours after the event.
