## How Granicip 1 Mg Tablet (Granisetron Hydrochloride) Works:

The antiemetic action of the drug is through the inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors present both centrally (medullary chemoreceptor zone) & peripherally (GI tract). This inhibition of 5-HT3 receptors consecutively inhibits the visceral afferent stimulation of the vomiting center.
