A cheap, old antipsychotic at a low dose is one of the best anti-sickness drugs for chemotherapy. Make sure every cancer unit in the world uses it.
Olanzapine 5 to 10 mg reduces chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in randomised trials, including with highly emetogenic regimens, at a cost of pennies. Uptake is uneven, and in many low-income settings even standard 5-HT3 antagonists and dexamethasone are inconsistently available. The proposal is a global implementation programme: inclusion of olanzapine-based bundles in national essential medicines lists and guidelines, pre-printed order sets, and audit of complete response rates as a quality indicator.
