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. Cadigran 1mg Tablet works by blocking the activity of serotonin in the brain and preventing post-operative nausea and vomiting.
