It may be through antagonizing the 5-HT3 receptors in the peripheral vagus nerve endings and central chemoreceptor areas, thereby blocking the vomiting reflex caused by factors such as chemotherapy and surgery that promote the release of 5-hydroxytryptamine from intestinal chromaffin cells and excite the vagus afferent nerves. This product has high selectivity and no side effects such as extrapyramidal reactions and excessive sedation. Toxicological studies Reproductive toxicity: When this product is administered orally at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day, it has no significant effect on the fertility and general reproductive behavior of male and female rats.
