What is Indium (111in) Oxine?

Indium-111 oxine, the active ingredient in Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908 Curium Netherlands B.V., is a radiopharmaceutical presented as a sterile solution for intravenous use. It is employed to label white blood cells for diagnostic imaging of infection, inflammation and certain tumors. GNH USA supplies Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908 Curium Netherlands B.V. as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals worldwide.

What is Indium (111in) Oxine used for?

Indium-111 oxine is used in nuclear medicine to image sites of infection, inflammation and tumor activity. - Infection imaging: enables visualization of acute infection sites by labeling leukocytes. - Inflammatory disease assessment: helps locate inflammatory lesions such as osteomyelitis. - Tumor detection: assists in identifying certain tumors through radiolabeling of cells. - Granulomatous disease evaluation: aids in detecting sarcoidosis and related conditions. - Cardiac infection assessment: used to detect prosthetic valve endocarditis and other cardiac infections.

What are the side effects of Indium (111in) Oxine?

Adverse reactions may occur following intravenous administration of Indium-111 oxine.

Common Side Effects: - Injection site pain or erythema - Mild nausea or vomiting - Transient headache - Temporary flushing or warmth sensation - Mild hypotension - Low‑grade fever

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis - Radiation‑induced bone marrow suppression - Significant hypotension requiring intervention - Pulmonary embolism from cell aggregates - Radiation‑induced malignancy (very rare) - Acute hemolysis or severe hemoglobin drop

What precautions apply to Indium (111in) Oxine?

Use of Indium-111 oxine requires careful consideration of radiation safety and patient condition. - Radiation exposure: limit unnecessary repeat imaging and follow institutional radiation protection guidelines. - Pregnancy: avoid use in pregnant patients unless the diagnostic benefit outweighs fetal radiation risk. - Breastfeeding: discontinue breastfeeding for an appropriate period after administration. - Allergies: contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to indium‑111 oxine or any component of the preparation. - Hematologic status: assess bone marrow function before use, especially in patients receiving myelosuppressive therapy. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Indium (111in) Oxine interact with?

Indium-111 oxine may interact with other agents that affect imaging quality or patient safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent administration of other radiopharmaceuticals that compete for the same imaging window. - High‑dose corticosteroids that suppress leukocyte function and reduce labeling efficiency. - Cytotoxic chemotherapy agents that cause profound bone‑marrow suppression.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Anticoagulants: increased risk of bleeding at the injection site. - Iodinated contrast media: may alter image interpretation. - Immunosuppressants: may affect leukocyte labeling and distribution. - Beta‑blockers: can mask hypotensive responses. - Diuretics: may influence plasma volume and tracer kinetics.

Frequently asked questions

What is Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908 used for?+
Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908 contains Indium‑111 oxine, a radiopharmaceutical used to label white blood cells for nuclear‑medicine imaging. It helps clinicians locate sites of infection, inflammation and certain tumors by visualizing the distribution of the labeled cells with a gamma camera.
How does Indium‑111 oxine work?+
Indium‑111 oxine forms a lipophilic complex that easily crosses cell membranes and enters leukocytes. Once inside, the oxine dissociates, trapping the radioactive indium‑111 within the cell. The labeled cells travel to areas of pathology, allowing gamma‑camera detection of infection, inflammation or tumor activity.
What is the usual dose of Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908?+
The administered activity of Indium‑111 oxine is determined by the prescribing physician based on the patient’s weight, the imaging protocol and regulatory guidelines. The exact dose is individualized and should be prepared and administered by qualified nuclear‑medicine personnel.
Is Indium (In111) Oxinate safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Indium‑111 oxine is a radioactive agent and is generally avoided during pregnancy unless the diagnostic benefit clearly outweighs fetal risk. Breastfeeding mothers should discontinue nursing for a period recommended by the treating physician to prevent radiation exposure to the infant.
How do I order Indium (In111) Oxinate Drn 4908 from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide. After verification of trade or institutional credentials, the sales team will provide pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain handling) and any required import documentation.
How does Indium (In111) Oxinate compare with other infection‑imaging agents?+
Indium‑111 oxine is a well‑established leukocyte‑labeling agent offering high specificity for acute infection and inflammation. Compared with technetium‑99m‑labeled agents, it provides longer imaging windows due to the 2.8‑day half‑life of indium‑111, but it involves higher radiation dose and requires more complex preparation.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Indium (In111) Oxinate?+
The product must be stored refrigerated at 2‑8 °C, protected from light, and never frozen or shaken. It should be kept in its original container until use, and all handling must follow aseptic techniques and radiation‑safety protocols to maintain product integrity and protect personnel.
How is Indium (In111) Oxinate administered?+
Indium‑111 oxine is administered intravenously by a qualified nuclear‑medicine professional. The radiotracer is typically prepared in a sterile vial, mixed with the patient’s leukocytes under controlled conditions, and then re‑injected. Imaging is performed several hours after administration to allow cell migration to target sites.
What are the most serious risks associated with Indium (In111) Oxinate?+
Serious risks include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), radiation‑induced bone‑marrow suppression, and rare radiation‑induced malignancies. Patients should be monitored for signs of hypersensitivity, hypotension and hematologic changes, especially if they have underlying bone‑marrow disorders or are receiving concurrent cytotoxic therapy.
Who should not receive Indium (In111) Oxinate?+
The product should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to indium‑111 oxine or any excipients, in pregnant women unless absolutely necessary, in breastfeeding mothers without appropriate interruption of nursing, and in individuals with severe bone‑marrow failure or uncontrolled infection where labeling efficiency would be compromised.
