ALOXI injection is a sterile, clear, colourless, non-pyrogenic,
isotonic, buffered solution for intravenous
administration. Each 5 ml vial of ALOXI injection contains 250 µg
equivalent palonosetron base
as hydrochloride.

intravenous administration. The
pH of the solution is 4.5 to 5.5.
PHARMACOLOGY
Palonosetron hydrochloride is an antiemetic and antinauseant agent. It
is a selective serotonin
subtype 3 (5-HT
3
) receptor antagonist with a strong binding affinity for this
receptor.
_PHARMACODYNAMICS _
Cancer chemotherapy may be associated with a high incidence of nausea
and vomiting, particularly
when certain agents, such as cisplatin, are used. 5-HT
3
receptors are located on the nerve terminals
of the vagus in the periphery and centrally in the chemoreceptor
trigger zone of the area postrema. It
is thought that chemotherapeutic agents produce nausea and vomiting by
releasing serotonin from
the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine and that the
released serotonin then activates 5-HT
3
receptors located on vagal afferents to initiate the vomiting reflex.
