Granisetron
A selective serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. It works by blocking serotonin receptors in the gut and brain that trigger the vomiting reflex when activated by cytotoxic treatments. It is available in oral, intravenous, and transdermal patch formulations.
