Medical Description
Granicip injection contains granisetron, a selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It exerts antiemetic action by competitively blocking 5-HT3 receptors on nerves in the gastrointestinal tract and in the brain.
Granicip injection is widely used to help prevent and manage severe nausea and vomiting induced by cancer therapies. It blocks signalling pathways that trigger nausea and vomiting following radiation or chemotherapy.
Granicip injection is administered by healthcare professionals via intravenous (IV) push or IV infusion, usually shortly before chemotherapy or radiotherapy as directed by the doctor.

Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Serotonergic medicines (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, Tramadol): Co-administration may increase the risk of developing serotonin syndrome. Inform your doctor if you take these medicines.
- Apomorphine: Granisetron should not be used with apomorphine because this combination has been associated with severe hypotension and loss of consciousness.
