Granisetron is a medication used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. It belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.
This medication works by blocking the action of serotonin, a natural substance in the body that can trigger nausea and vomiting. It is available in tablet form, transdermal patches, or injectable solutions.
Granisetron is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as headaches, constipation, or dizziness. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.
It is important to use granisetron as directed by your doctor and to inform medical staff about any other medications you are taking to avoid interactions.
