Bleo 15k and OctreoScan

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Using bleomycin together with indium pentetreotide In-111 may cause indium pentetreotide In-111 to accumulate in the lungs leading to toxicity. This combination may also interfere with the results of tests using indium pentetreotide In-111. Drink plenty of fluids prior to receiving indium pentetreotide In-111 to help protect the lungs and other target organs (e.G., thyroid, kidneys, bladder). You should continue extra fluids and void frequently for one day after the indium pentetreotide In-111 test. You may also be instructed to take a mild laxative (e.G., bisacodyl or lactulose) before and after administration of indium pentetreotide In-111. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

MONITOR: Indium In-111 pentetreotide may accumulate in the lungs when given concomitantly with bleomycin.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of possible diagnostic interference in patients who are undergoing bleomycin treatment. To help reduce the radiation dose to the lungs and other target organs (e.g., thyroid, kidneys, bladder), patients should be well hydrated prior to the administration of indium In-111 pentetreotide. They should increase fluid intake and void frequently for one day after the scintigraphy. In addition, it is recommended that patients be given a mild laxative (e.g., bisacodyl or lactulose) before and after administration of indium In-111 pentetreotide.
