GINGECAP CAPSULE

Introduction:

Gingecap Capsule consists of the active ingredient Sunthi ghan (Zingiber officinale) 500mg. It is formulated by extracting from the stem of Zingiber officinale. It is indicated to manage and prevent nausea and vomiting that occurs due to cancer chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting poses as a hindrance to the success of cancer therapy due to its ability to cause discomfort, malnourishment, electrolyte imbalance and impairs the quality of life.

Uses of Gingecap Capsule:

• Management of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting
• Improvement of taste

How Gingecap Capsule works:

The central nervous system undergoes stress before chemotherapy that causes vomiting. The brain has a ‘vomiting center’ that functions due to interactions between various nerves and receptors. The nerves in the stomach are highly concentrated with serotonin receptors. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy or certain diseases stimulate these receptors that eventually trigger the vomiting center. Gingecap Capsule works against these receptors, enhances gastric emptying, improves intestinal motility and prevents nausea and vomiting.

Interaction with other drugs:

Inform your physician regarding any medications or supplements you are taking or have taken before the treatment.

More Information:
