1. What is GalliaPharm and what is it used for

GalliaPharm is a radionuclide generator of germanium (68Ge)/gallium (68Ga), a device used to obtain a solution of gallium chloride (68Ga). Gallium chloride (68Ga) is a substance whose handling is the responsibility of specialized physicians (nuclear medicine specialists) and pharmacists with the necessary training to work with radioactive materials. Gallium chloride (68Ga) is not intended for direct use in patients, but is used for radiolabeling, a technique in which a substance is labeled (radiolabeled) with a radioactive compound, in this case, 68Ga.

Only medications that have been specifically developed and approved for radiolabeling with 68Ga are subjected to the radiolabeling procedure with gallium chloride (68Ga). These radiolabeled medications can recognize and bind to specific types of body cells and carry the radioactive 68Ga to these body cells. The small amount of radioactivity present in the radiolabeled medication can be detected from outside the body using special cameras. This can help your doctor with diagnosis. For more information, consult the package leaflet of the medication to be radiolabeled with gallium chloride (68Ga).

Your nuclear medicine specialist will explain in more detail the type of examination that will be performed.

The use of a medication labeled with 68Ga involves receiving a small amount of radioactivity. Your doctor and nuclear medicine specialist have considered that the clinical benefit you will obtain from the procedure with the medication labeled with 68Ga outweighs the risk of radiation.

Doctor consultation

Not sure if this medicine is right for you?

Discuss your symptoms and treatment with a doctor online.

2. What you need to know before you start using the gallium chloride (68Ga) solution obtained with GalliaPharm

The gallium chloride (68Ga) solution obtained with GalliaPharm must not be administered

  • if you are allergic to gallium chloride (68Ga) or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

If you are using a medication labeled with 68Ga, you should read the information about contraindications included in the package leaflet of the medication to be radiolabeled.

Warnings and Precautions

To obtain information related to special warnings and precautions for the use of medications labeled with 68Ga, consult the package leaflet of the medication to be radiolabeled.

Children and Adolescents

Inform your nuclear medicine specialist if you or your child are under 18 years old.

Other Medications and the Gallium Chloride (68Ga) Solution

Inform your nuclear medicine specialist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication, as some medications may interfere with the interpretation of images by your doctor.

It is not known if the gallium chloride (68Ga) solution can interact with other medications, as no specific studies have been conducted. You will not receive an injection of gallium chloride (68Ga), but a medication that has been combined (radiolabeled) with a solution of gallium chloride (68Ga).

To obtain information about other medications in combination with the use of medications labeled with 68Ga, consult the package leaflet of the radiolabeled medication.

Pregnancy, Breast-feeding, and Fertility

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your nuclear medicine specialist before you are administered medications labeled with 68Ga.

If there is any possibility that you may be pregnant, if you experience a delay in your period, or if you are breast-feeding, inform your nuclear medicine specialist before administration of medications labeled with 68Ga.

In case of doubt, it is important that you consult your nuclear medicine specialist who will be supervising the procedure.

If you are pregnant

Your nuclear medicine specialist will only administer this medication labeled with 68Ga during pregnancy if the expected benefit outweighs the risk.

If you are breast-feeding

You will be asked to stop breast-feeding. Ask your nuclear medicine specialist when you can resume breast-feeding.

Driving and Using Machines

Effects on the ability to drive and use machines may occur due to the use of medications labeled with 68Ga. Read carefully the package leaflets of those medications.

3. How to use the gallium chloride (68Ga) solution obtained with GalliaPharm

The use, handling, and disposal of radiopharmaceuticals are subject to very strict regulations. GalliaPharm will only be used in special controlled areas. The production of the gallium chloride (68Ga) solution, as well as the radiolabeling of a specific carrier medication and the administration of a medication labeled with 68Ga, will be the exclusive responsibility of properly trained and qualified personnel to use it safely. These personnel will take special care in the safe use of this medication and will inform you of their actions.

The nuclear medicine specialist supervising the procedure will decide the amount of medication labeled with 68Ga to be used in your case. This will be the minimum amount necessary to obtain the desired information.

Administration of the Gallium Chloride (68Ga) Solution and Performance of the Procedure

You will not be administered the gallium chloride (68Ga) solution, but another medication that has been combined (radiolabeled) with a solution of gallium chloride (68Ga).

Duration of the Procedure

Your nuclear medicine specialist will inform you about the usual duration of the procedure with the medication labeled with 68Ga. For more information, consult the package leaflet of the radiolabeled medication.

After Administration of the Medication Labeled with Gallium Chloride (68Ga)

Your nuclear medicine specialist will inform you if you need to take special precautions after you have been administered the medication labeled with 68Ga. Consult your nuclear medicine specialist if you have any doubts.

If you have been administered more medication labeled with gallium chloride (68Ga) than you should, or if you have received a direct injection of gallium chloride (68Ga) accidentally

It is unlikely that an overdose or accidental direct injection of a gallium chloride (68Ga) solution will occur, because you will only receive the medication labeled with 68Ga under the precise control of the nuclear medicine specialist supervising the procedure. Nevertheless, in case of overdose or accidental direct injection, you will receive appropriate care.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medication, ask your nuclear medicine specialist who is supervising the procedure.
