A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Insulin isophane (NPH) may affect the diagnostic results of fludeoxyglucose F-18. Talk to your doctor before you are scheduled for testing to find out if and for how long you should stop using insulin isophane (NPH) so that it does not interfere with fludeoxyglucose F-18 test results. 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: Certain medications may interfere with the results of diagnostic studies using fludeoxyglucose F18 by increasing or decreasing uptake of the agent into tissues.

MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of possible diagnostic interference associated with the following medications: colony-stimulating factors may increase uptake in spleen and bone marrow; glucose-induced hyperglycemia may interfere with uptake; dopamine and insulin may decrease myocardial and tumor cell uptake; laxative-induced intestinal muscle activity and/or irritation may increase intestinal uptake.
