Serotonin syndrome

This chemical helps your brain cells and nerve cells to communicate with each other. But too much serotonin causes extreme nerve cell activity and serious symptoms. Caution should be taken when Periset 2 MG Injection is used along with other same class of medications like granisetron, dolasetron, etc., as it may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.
