Jan 07, 2025

Introduction

GRANISTROM 1 is a highly effective antiemetic medicine containing Granisetron Hydrochloride 1 mg, specially formulated to prevent and control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgery. As part of a trusted class of anti-nausea medicines, Granisetron is widely prescribed to cancer patients undergoing aggressive treatment protocols.

What is Granisetron Hydrochloride?

Granisetron is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, designed to block the action of serotonin—a natural chemical in the body that can activate the vomiting reflex during cancer treatment or after surgery. Granisetron is well-tolerated and known for its fast-acting relief from both acute and delayed nausea episodes.

Indications: When to Use GRANISTROM 1

GRANISTROM 1 is indicated in the management and prevention of:

Whether you're undergoing cancer treatment or recovering from surgery, Granisetron tablets like GRANISTROM 1 can significantly improve quality of life by reducing episodes of nausea and vomiting.

How Does GRANISTROM 1 Work?

Granisetron works by blocking serotonin (5-HT3) receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract. Serotonin is released in large quantities during chemotherapy or surgery, triggering the nausea reflex. GRANISTROM 1 effectively inhibits this action, preventing both the initiation and persistence of vomiting.
