Medicinal Benefits:

Granny 1mg Syrup contains an anti-emetic drug, Granisetron, that treats nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or after surgery, etc. Granisetron belongs to the class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, also known as serotonin receptor antagonists or serotonin blockers. When the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract are damaged by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, they release a natural substance called serotonin (5HT3, 5-hydroxytryptamine). This serotonin binds to serotonin receptors on nerves that induce nausea and vomiting. Granny 1mg Syrup works by blocking the activity of serotonin in the brain and preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
