Gallium ga 68 dotatate Intravenous and Sandostatin

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.

Before you undergo any imaging procedure where dotatate may be used, let your doctor know if you are currently receiving octreotide. There is some concern that medications like octreotide may interfere with the imaging results by reducing the amount of injected radioactive material that gets taken up by tumor tissues in your body. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. In some cases, the timing of the octreotide dose and the imaging procedure may need to be scheduled accordingly to minimize the potential for interference. 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.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Non-radioactive somatostatin analogs may interfere with the uptake of Ga-68 dotatate into neuroendocrine tumors by competitively binding to somatostatin receptors in tumor tissues. This may affect diagnostic imaging results.

MANAGEMENT: The manufacturer recommends imaging patients with gallium Ga-68 dotatate positron emission tomography (PET) just prior to dosing with long-acting somatostatin analogs. Short-acting formulations of somatostatin analogs can be used up to 24 hours before imaging with gallium Ga-68 dotatate.
