Uses of Gingecap Capsule:
Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Gingecap Capsule is indicated for the relief and prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy. These symptoms can significantly impact the quality of life of cancer patients undergoing treatment and may lead to complications such as malnutrition and electrolyte imbalances.
Improvement of Taste: Additionally, Gingecap Capsule may help improve taste perception, which can be altered during chemotherapy.
Mechanism of Action of Gingecap Capsule:
Neurological Modulation: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting result from the activation of the vomiting center in the brain due to stimulation of serotonin receptors in the stomach and intestines. Gingecap Capsule acts on these receptors, modulating neurotransmitter activity to reduce the sensation of nausea and prevent vomiting.
Gastric Function Enhancement: By enhancing gastric emptying and promoting digestive motility, Gingecap Capsule helps regulate gastrointestinal function, further contributing to the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
