A member asked:
Oncology/pancreatic cancer: can the anti-emetics granisetron and ondansetron both (combo)as 5-ht3 receptor antagonists be taken at same time for cinv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No,Take one at a tim: Granisetron and Ondansetron are very similar drugs . Oncologists will chose one or the other but not both of them at the same time because there is no further benefit if you combine them. But one may work better than the other, so switching around is not unreasonable, if required.
