Kytril injections are used to prevent nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy or radiation therapy. They contain granisetron, which works by inhibiting serotonin receptors in the digestive system and brain, which are responsible for stimulating the vomiting center. Kytril is a long-acting drug and is given either orally or by injection, depending on the patient's condition and treatment plan. It is preferable to use it before the treatment session at a specific time to obtain maximum effectiveness.
Kytril may cause some side effects, such as a mild headache or constipation. Rarely, an irregular heartbeat may occur. Therefore, it is recommended to follow up with a doctor throughout the treatment period and not to use the drug without direct medical supervision.
