SANCUSO contains granisetron, which is a serotonin-3 (5-HT 3 ) receptor antagonist. Chemically it is 1-methyl-N-[(1R,3r,5S)-9-methyl-9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-yl]-1H-indazole-3-carboxamide with a molecular weight of 312.4. Its empirical formula is C 18 H 24 N 4 O, while its chemical structure is: Granisetron is a white to off-white solid that is insoluble in water. The inactive ingredients are acrylate-vinylacetate copolymer, polyester, titanium dioxide, polyamide resin and polyethylene wax. SANCUSO is a 52 cm 2 thin, translucent, matrix-type transdermal system that is rectangular- shaped with rounded corners, consisting of a backing (polyester), the drug matrix (acrylate- vinylacetate copolymer) and a release liner (siliconized polyester).
