Palonosetron (INN, trade name Aloxi) is a 5-HT3 antagonist used in the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It is used for the control of delayed CINV—nausea and vomiting and there are tentative data to suggest that it may be better than granisetron.[1]

Palonosetron is administered intravenously, as a single dose, 30 minutes before chemotherapy,[2] or as a single oral capsule one hour before chemotherapy.[3] The oral formulation was approved on August 22, 2008 for prevention of acute CINV alone, as a large clinical trial did not show oral administration to be as effective as intravenous use against delayed CINV.[3]
