1.
WHAT YTRACIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
YTRACIS is a radioactive medicine used in combination with another
medicine product which targets
specific body cells. When the target is reached, Ytracis gives tiny
radiation doses to these specific
sites.
For further information regarding the treatment and possible effects
caused by the medicinal product
to be radiolabelled please refer to the package leaflet of the
medicinal product to be radiolabelled.
2.
BEFORE YOU USE YTRACIS
DO NOT USE YTRACIS:
- if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to Yttrium (
90
Y) chloride or any of the other ingredients of
YTRACIS.
- if you are pregnant or if there is a possibility that you might be
pregnant (see below).
TAKE SPECIAL CARE WITH YTRACIS:
YTRACIS is not to be administered directly to the patient.
Because there are strict laws covering the use, handling and disposal
of radioactivity, YTRACIS will
always be used in a hospital or a similar setting. It will only be
handled and administered by people
who are trained and qualified in the safe handling of radioactive
material.
Particular care should be taken when administering radioactive
medicinal products to children and
adolescents.
