About Acgran Injection
Acgran Injection 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.
Acgran Injection 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.
Acgran Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your medical condition. Common side effects of Acgran Injection include diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain, weakness, headache, fever, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
If you use other prescription or non-prescription medicines, inform your doctor before using Acgran Injection. Let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart diseases, stomach/intestinal problems, allergic reactions, and low levels of potassium and magnesium in the blood before starting Acgran Injection. This medicine may make you dizzy or drowsy; hence avoid driving or operating machinery if you are not mentally alert. Consult your doctor before using Acgran Injection if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Avoid consuming alcohol while being treated with Acgran Injection as it could lead to unwanted side effects.
Uses of Acgran Injection
Medicinal Benefits
Acgran Injection 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. Acgran Injection works by blocking the brain's serotonin activity and preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
