V09GA02 - Technetium (99mTc) Tetrofosmin
Propably not porphyrinogenic
PNP

Rationale
Technetium (99mTc) tetrofosmin is administered in low dose and the therapeutic plasma concentration is considered to be insignificant in relation to having potentially porphyrinogenic effects.
Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
After administration, technetium (99mTc) tetrofosmin is rapidly distributed and has a high affinity for myocardial and skeletal muscle (Higley 1993). According to Schreuder and coworkers, the plasma concentration of technetium (99mTc) tetrofosmin is 0.07µM and the hepatic load is therefore probably insignificant (Shcreuder 2016). Approximately 66% of the injected activity is excreted within 48 hours post-injection, with approximately 40% excreted in the urine and 26% in the feces (FDA label). No dug-drug interactions are listed in interaction databases (Lexicomp, Micromedex).

Tradenames and packages
From some sources, we get a list of packages (United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia). Other sources contain more or less "clean" versions of the trade name (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway). What you see here is the raw data we get from each country, so there will appear to be duplicates. The bold names are the searchable terms. The gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors. We strive to improve it continuously.
