Sustol is available as an extended-release Injection, in the following doses: 10 mg/0.4 mL in a single-dose, pre-filled syringe.

The recommended dosage in adults is 10 mg as a single subcutaneous injection at least 30 minutes before the start of emetogenic chemotherapy on Day 1. Do not administer more frequently than once every 7 days. Use for more than 6 months is not recommended.
