About Magidon 1mg Injection

Magidon 1mg Injection belongs to the class of 'anti-emetic' drugs, primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by medical treatments after surgery or chemotherapy or radiation treatment for cancer. Nausea is defined as stomach discomfort and the sensation of an urge to vomit. Vomiting is the forcible voluntary or involuntary emptying of contents of the stomach through the mouth.

Magidon 1mg Injection contains an anti-emetic (eases vomiting symptoms) medicine, 'Granisetron', that belongs to the class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (also called serotonin receptor antagonists or serotonin blockers). It works by blocking the brain's serotonin (chemical messenger) activity that triggers nausea and vomiting during cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or after surgery.

Magidon 1mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration based on the severity of your medical condition. Common side effects of Magidon 1mg Injection include diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain, weakness, headache, fever, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Magidon 1mg Injection contains an anti-emetic medicine, 'Granisetron', that treats nausea and vomiting caused due to cancer treatment (chemotherapy or radiation therapy) or after surgery. Granisetron belongs to the class of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (also called serotonin receptor antagonists or serotonin blockers). When the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract are damaged by chemotherapy or radiation therapy, they release a natural substance called serotonin (5HT3, 5-hydroxytryptamine). This serotonin binds to serotonin receptors on nerves that induces nausea and vomiting. Magidon 1mg Injection works by blocking the brain's serotonin activity and preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
