Description

Tigan (Trimethobenzamide) 100 mg/mL is an antiemetic used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. It is formulated as an injectable solution in a 2 mL single-dose vial, and typically administered intramuscularly or intravenously under the supervision of a healthcare provider. The product is available in a box containing 25 vials, each with a concentration of 100 mg/mL of trimethobenzamide.

Trimethobenzamide, the active ingredient in Tigan, works by inhibiting the action of dopamine in the brain, specifically in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. This action helps prevent the transmission of nausea signals to the vomiting center, offering effective control of nausea and vomiting associated with various conditions, including postoperative recovery and gastrointestinal disorders.

Tigan's administration requires caution in patients with a history of allergic reactions to the drug or other components of the formulation. It should not be administered to individuals who are pregnant unless absolutely necessary, as there may be potential risks to the fetus.
