Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical TrialOral granisetron as prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting during fluorescein angiography. A multicentre, double-blind, randomised, parallel group, placebo-controlled study.
Prophylaxis with oral Granisetron was assessed in patients undergoing fluorescein angiography (FAG) in order to evaluate its efficacy in reducing patients' discomfort due to nausea and vomiting (4% > 20%) and to ensure completion of the investigation. ⋯ The results suggest that Granisetron may be indicated as prophylaxis in patients undergoing FAG in order to prevent or control emesis, improve patients' comfort and ensure successful outcome of the investigation.
