Consumer:Ergotamine may interfere with imaging studies done with ioflupane I-123. Let your doctor know you are receiving or have recently received ergotamine if you are scheduled for an imaging diagnostic procedure with ioflupane I-123. You may need to stop using ergotamine for a certain amount of time before having the procedure. 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.
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.
