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.

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.

Nausea is defined as stomach discomfort and the sensation of an urge to vomit. It is a precursor to vomiting. It is not a painful symptom but can cause discomfort in the chest, upper abdomen, or back of the throat. Nausea can be triggered by various factors like motion from a car and plane, taking pills on an empty stomach, eating too much or too little, and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol. 

Vomiting or throwing up is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of contents of the stomach through the mouth. Vomiting can also occur without any underlying diseases like pregnancy, hangovers, overeating, and motion sickness. Nausea or vomiting may be triggered by many factors, including food poisoning, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), an ulcer, or bulimia (eating disorder).
