Kytril Injection (Granisetron Hydrochloride) - Summary

SUMMARY

KYTRIL^®
(granisetron hydrochloride)
INJECTION

KYTRIL (granisetron hydrochloride) Injection is an antinauseant and antiemetic agent.

KYTRIL Injection is indicated for:

• The prevention of nausea and/or vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of emetogenic cancer therapy, including high-dose cisplatin.
• The prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. As with other antiemetics, routine prophylaxis is not recommended in patients in whom there is little expectation that nausea and/or vomiting will occur postoperatively. In patients where nausea and/or vomiting must be avoided during the postoperative period, KYTRIL Injection is recommended even where the incidence of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting is low.
