INDICATION

SUSTOL is indicated in combination with other antiemetics in adults for the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) or anthracycline and cyclophosphamide (AC) combination chemotherapy regimens.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Contraindications

SUSTOL is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to granisetron, any of the components of SUSTOL, or any other 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.

Warnings and Precautions

Serious or severe injection site reactions (ISRs): infection, prolonged bleeding, bruising, hematomas, nodules, pain, and tenderness have been reported. Patients who are neutropenic or receiving antiplatelet agents or anticoagulants may be at greater risk. Monitor for ISRs during treatment with SUSTOL. Inform patients that some ISRs may occur 2 weeks or more after SUSTOL administration. For ongoing ISRs, administer SUSTOL at a site away from the affected area and consider discontinuing SUSTOL for severe or persistent ISRs.

Monitor for constipation and decreased bowel activity and consider optimizing patients’ current bowel regimens used for managing preexisting constipation. Instruct patients to seek immediate medical care if signs and symptoms of ileus occur.

Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported and may occur up to 7 days or longer following SUSTOL administration and may have an extended course. If a reaction occurs, administer appropriate treatment and monitor until signs and symptoms resolve.

Serotonin syndrome has been reported with 5-HT3 receptor antagonists alone but particularly with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs.

Use in Specific Populations

Avoid SUSTOL in patients with severe renal impairment. In patients with moderate renal impairment, administer SUSTOL not more frequently than once every 14 days.

Adverse Reactions

Most common adverse reactions (≥3%) are injection site reactions, constipation, fatigue, headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, insomnia, dyspepsia, dizziness, asthenia, and gastroesophageal reflux.
