Medicinal Benefits

Setrona 4mg Tablet belongs to a group of medications called anti-emetics used to prevent nausea and vomiting associated with conditions like cancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, pregnancy and motion sickness in adults and children above 4 years of age. When serotonin level increases in the blood, it stimulates the CTZ receptor (chemoreceptor trigger zone) located in the brain responsible for controlling nausea and vomiting. Setrona 4mg Tablet acts by inhibiting the release of this serotonin, thereby preventing nausea and vomiting.
