Prescription RequiredAbout GRANDEM 1MG INJECTION 1ML
GRANDEM 1MG INJECTION 1ML belongs to the class of 'anti-emetic' drugs, primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by medical treatments after surgery or chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer. Nausea is defined as stomach discomfort and the sensation of an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of contents of the stomach through the mouth.
GRANDEM 1MG INJECTION 1ML contains an anti-emetic (eases vomiting symptoms) medicine, 'Granisetron', that belongs to the class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (also called serotonin receptor antagonists or serotonin blockers). It works by blocking the brain's serotonin (chemical messenger) activity that triggers nausea and vomiting during cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or after surgery.

Medicinal Benefits
GRANDEM 1MG INJECTION 1ML contains an anti-emetic medicine, 'Granisetron', that treats nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or after surgery. Granisetron belongs to the class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (also called 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 induces nausea and vomiting. GRANDEM 1MG INJECTION 1ML works by blocking the brain's serotonin activity and preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
