Onsetin 150mg Injection, a prescription medication, counteracts chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. It's also indicated for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in adults.

This medication may cause serious side effects including rash, itching, skin peeling or blistering, and difficulty breathing or swallowing.
