1. What is Granisetron Aurovitas Spain and what is it used for

Granisetron Aurovitas Spain contains a medicine called granisetron. This belongs to a group of medicines called serotonin receptor antagonists, 5-HT3, or “antiemetics”, which means they prevent or stop nausea and vomiting. These tablets are only for adults.

Granisetron Aurovitas Spain is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting (feeling sick) caused by certain treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy in anticancer therapy.
