Summary
Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug. Its antiemetic effect is demonstrated after laparoscopic
surgery, but it is not yet known whether gabapentin is effective in preventing chemotherapy
induced emesis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of gabapentin to dexamethasone
plus ondansetron increase the control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
