WHAT AXUMIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine is a radiopharmaceutical product for diagnostic use
only.
Axumin contains the active substance fluciclovine (
18
F) and is given so that doctors can perform a
special type of scan called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan.
If you have previously had
treatment for prostate cancer and information from other tests (e.g.
prostate specific antigen, PSA)
indicates that the cancer may have returned, an Axumin PET scan can
help your doctor find the
locations where the cancer has come back.
You should discuss the results of the test with the doctor that
requested the scan.
The use of Axumin does involve exposure to small amounts of
radioactivity. Your doctor and the
nuclear medicine doctor have considered that the benefit of this
procedure with the
radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk of being exposed to radiation.

NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT
Axumin 1,600 MBq/mL solution for injection
Axumin 3,200 MBq/mL solution for injection
2.
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
Axumin 1,600 MBq/mL solution for injection
Each mL of solution contains 1,600
MBq of fluciclovine (
18
F) at the date and time of calibration
(ToC).
The activity per vial ranges from 1,600 MBq to 16,000 MBq at the date
and ToC.
Axumin 3,200 MBq/mL solution for injection
Each mL of solution contains 3,200 MBq of fluciclovine (
18
F) at the date and ToC.
The activity per vial ranges from 3,200 MBq to 32,000 MBq at the date
and ToC.
Fluorine (
18
F) decays to stable oxygen (
18
O) with a half-life of 110 minutes by emitting a positronic
radiation of maximum energy of 634 keV, followed by photonic
annihilation radiations of 511 keV.
Excipients with known effect
Each mL of solution contains 7.7 mg of sodium.
For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
