Naomi Robinson –
About 5 years ago, I was able to go for vacation in Asia. Unfortunately, in one of our vacation destinations, I started to experience nausea and vomiting which continued for days even with metoclopramide. On the 3rd day of symptoms, I had to be brought to the hospital, and was given granisetron and in about 15 minutes the nausea and vomiting simply stopped. The drug worked fast and since then, I have been stocking on this medication and keeping it in my travel medicine pouch and have used it multiple times already. It never failed to work.
