Professional:MONITOR: Theoretically, dopamine agonists (e.g., antiparkinson agents, ergot derivatives) and antagonists (e.g., neuroleptics, antiemetics) may affect imaging results obtained using ioflupane I-123, which binds to the dopamine transporter. However, their concomitant use has not been extensively studied. Whether discontinuation of these drugs prior to ioflupane I-123 administration may help to minimize potential interference is unknown.
MANAGEMENT: Clinicians using ioflupane I-123 should be aware of possible diagnostic interference by dopamine agonists and antagonists.
