Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing Grandem Injection 3ml. However, if you experience serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some suggestions to manage common side effects:

Dyspepsia: Follow the diet plan recommended by your doctor.

Grandem Injection 3ml contains granisetron (1 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

5-HT3 Receptor Antagonist: Granisetron works by specifically targeting and blocking the 5-HT3 receptors located in your body's chemoreceptor trigger zone and gastrointestinal tract. These receptors are part of the mechanism that triggers the urge to vomit.
Serotonin Inhibitor: When granisetron blocks the 5-HT3 receptors, it effectively inhibits the activity of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays a significant role in initiating the vomiting reflex. This action helps reduce nausea and vomiting associated with cancer treatments and surgery.

Caution is advised while taking Grandem Injection 3ml if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Always consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Antifungals: If you take strong CYP3A4 inhibitors like ketoconazole or itraconazole alongside Grandem Injection 3ml, the latter may increase the levels of granisetron in your blood, which could lead to more side effects.
