Vestipitant
Vestipitant is a drug that was developed by GlaxoSmithKline for the treatment of nausea and vomiting, as well as other conditions. It acts as a neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist, blocking the action of substance P, a neurotransmitter that has been associated with nausea and vomiting.
History[edit | edit source]
Vestipitant was first developed by GlaxoSmithKline, a British multinational pharmaceutical company. The drug was designed to act as a neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist, which means it blocks the action of substance P, a neurotransmitter that has been associated with nausea and vomiting.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Vestipitant works by blocking the action of substance P, a neurotransmitter that is involved in a number of physiological processes, including the transmission of pain, the regulation of mood, and the induction of vomiting. By blocking the action of substance P, vestipitant can help to reduce nausea and vomiting.
Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]
Vestipitant has undergone a number of clinical trials to assess its efficacy and safety. These trials have shown that the drug can be effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in a variety of conditions.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like all drugs, vestipitant can cause side effects. These can include dizziness, fatigue, and dry mouth. However, these side effects are generally mild and go away on their own.
