Information about application

In other words, it will be 90 mg CST for a person weighing 90 kg or 200 lb. It may be injected twice daily to get more effective control of the diseases. Injection site could be subcutaneous like insulin injection.

Advantage of using the equivalents

Since the equivalents, RI-CST and NSC-177491, are more stable than CST, they may provide an advantage of less frequent injections and therefore, less cost. The oral applications of these alternatives are being tested.
