 2  Chemo IV dose of Emend after several minutes produced severe allergic reaction. Felt like insides were swelling then had sensation of falling into a cave. Could see and hear nurses but couldn't respond. Had flushed face, blood pressure went up and oxygen level down. Lasted for a short time after IV turned off. It's on my list of meds I'm allergic to. Was told it's the first time they ever saw that reaction. F 70 1 days
