This leaflet answers some of the common questions about TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI. It does not contain all of the available information about TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI. It does not replace talking to your doctor. All medicines have risks and benefits. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you or your child receiving TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI against the benefits he or she expects it will have. IF YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT HAVING THIS MEDICINE, ASK YOUR DOCTOR. KEEP THIS LEAFLET. You may need to read it again. WHAT IS TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI? TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI is a kit for radiopharmaceutical preparation. This kit contains an active ingredient (non-radionuclide) called tetrakis (2-methoxyisobutyl isonitrile) copper (I) tetrafluoroborate to which a solution containing another ingredient called a radionuclide is added to give the final radiopharmaceutical preparation, TECHNETIUM [ 99m Tc] SESTAMIBI INJECTION. The radiopharmaceutical preparation is administered to you as an injection. A radionuclide is radioactive. The radionuclide in TECHNETIUM [ 99m Tc] SESTAMIBI INJECTION is called pertechnetate ( 99m Tc). WHAT IS TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI USED FOR? TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI is used to show the blood flow inside your heart during exercise and rest. It can be used to show the presence and size of any breast cancer. Your doctor may have prescribed TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI for an other purpose. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI has been prescribed for you. If you have any concerns, you should discuss these with your doc Read the complete document
Technescan ® Sestamibi 07 September 2011PRODUCT INFORMATION 1/15 TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI Kit for the preparation of Technetium [ 99m Tc] Sestamibi Injection NAME OF THE MEDICINE Tetrakis (2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile) copper (I) tetrafluoroborate. The abbreviated notation is [Cu(MIBI) 4 ]BF 4 (where MIBI is 2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile). The structural formula is shown below. The molecular formula is C 24 H 44 N 4 O 4 BF 4 Cu and the molecular weight is 602.98. The CAS number is 103694-84-4. DESCRIPTION TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI is defined as a kit for radiopharmaceutical preparation, specifically the preparation of Technetium [ 99m Tc] Sestamibi Injection. TECHNESCAN ® SESTAMIBI is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, lyophilised white powder. After reconstitution of the radiopharmaceutical kit with sterile, non-pyrogenic, oxidant free Sodium Pertechnetate ( 99m Tc) Injection, a complex of the MIBI and Technetium-99m forms yielding Technetium [ 99m Tc] Sestamibi ([Tc-99m (MIBI) 6 ] + Cl - ). Technescan ® Sestamibi 07 September 2011PRODUCT INFORMATION 2/15 EACH VIAL CONTAINS: Tetrakis (2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile) copper (I) tetrafluoroborate - 1 mg Stannous Chloride Dihydrate - 0.075 mg Sodium Citrate - 2.6 mg Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate - 1 mg Mannitol - 20 mg Prior to lyophilization the pH is 5.6 to 5.7, and sodium hydroxide and/or hydrochloric acid may have been added for pH adjustment. The pH of the reconstituted product is 5.5 (5.0–6.0). No bacteriostatic preservative is present. The contents of the vial are stored under nitrogen. _PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS _ Technetium ( 99m Tc) decays by isomeric transition with a physical half-life of 6 hours. Photons associated with this transition which are useful for detection and imaging studies are listed below. TABLE 1. PRINCIPAL RA Read the complete document
