Granisetron Hydrochloride for Injection

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: This product is a highly selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, which has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on nausea and vomiting caused by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. Factors such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgical operations can cause enterochromaffin cells to release 5-HT, and 5-HT can activate the 5-HT3 receptors of the central nervous system or vagus nerve to cause vomiting reflex. The mechanism of this product in controlling nausea and vomiting is to antagonize the 5-HT3 receptors in the central chemoreceptor area and peripheral vagus nerve endings, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of nausea and vomiting. This product has high selectivity and no side effects such as extrapyramidal reactions and excessive sedation. Toxicological studies: Genetic toxicity: This product was tested in the Ames test, mouse lymphoma cell forward mutation test, mouse micronucleus test and in vivo and in vitro rat hepatocytes.

Drug Interactions

1Granisetron does not induce or inhibit the cytochrome P-450 drug metabolizing enzyme system. 2Because granisetron is metabolized by the hepatic cytochrome P-450 drug metabolizing enzyme, induction or inhibition of this enzyme could alter the clearance rate and half-life of granisetron.
