PRESCRIPTION DRUG

Indicações terapêuticas:

Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in the following settings: For assessment of abnormal glucose metabolism to assist in the evaluation of malignancy in patients with known or suspected abnormalities found by other testing modalities, or in patients with an existing diagnosis of cancer. For the identification of left ventricular myocardium with residual glucose metabolism and reversible loss of systolic function in patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction, when used together with myocardial perfusion imaging. For the identification of regions of abnormal glucose metabolism associated with foci of epileptic seizures. None Risk Summary Data from published case series and case reports describe Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection crossing the placenta with uptake by the fetus (see Data). All radiopharmaceuticals have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose.

FLUDEOXYGLUCOSE F 18 INJECTION, FOR INTRAVENOUS USE
INITIAL U.S. APPROVAL: 2005
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection is indicated for positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging in the following
settings:
Oncology: For assessment of abnormal glucose metabolism to assist in
the evaluation of malignancy in
patients with known or suspected abnormalities found by other testing
modalities, or in patients with an
existing diagnosis of cancer.
Cardiology: For the identification of left ventricular myocardium with
residual glucose metabolism and
reversible loss of systolic function in patients with coronary artery
disease and left ventricular
dysfunction, when used together with myocardial perfusion imaging.
Neurology: For the identification of regions of abnormal glucose
metabolism associated with foci of
epileptic seizures (1).
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection emits radiation. Use procedures to
minimize radiation exposure. Screen for
blood glucose abnormalities.
In the oncology and neurology settings, instruct patients to fast for
4-6 hours prior to the drug's
injection. Consider medical therapy and laboratory testing to assure
at least two days of
normoglycemia prior to the drug's administration (5.2).
In the cardiology setting, administration of glucose-containing food
or liquids (e.g., 50-75 grams) prior
to the drug's injection facilitates localization of cardiac ischemia
(2.3).
Aseptically withdraw Fludeoxyglucose F 18 Injection from its container
and administer by intravenous
injection (2). The recommended dose:
for adults is 5-10 mCi (185-370 MBq), in all indicated clinical
settings (2.1).
for pediatric patients is 2.6 mCi in t
