This medication is a radiopharmaceutical for diagnostic use only.

Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP contains the active ingredient ioflupano (123I) which is used to help detect (diagnose) conditions in the brain. It belongs to a group of medications called "radiopharmaceuticals", which contain a small amount of radioactivity.

• When a radiopharmaceutical is injected, it accumulates in a specific organ or area of the body for a short period of time.
• As it contains a small amount of radioactivity, it can be detected from the outside of the body using special cameras.
• A picture, known as a gamma scan, can be taken. This gamma scan will show exactly where the radioactivity is located within the organ and the body, which can provide valuable information to the doctor about how the organ is functioning.

When Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP is injected into an adult, it distributes throughout the body via the bloodstream. It accumulates in a small area of the brain. Changes in this area of the brain occur in:

• Parkinsonism (including Parkinson's disease) and
• Lewy body dementia.

The image will provide the doctor with information about any changes in this area of the brain. This image will help the doctor to know more about the disease and decide on possible treatment.

When Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP is used, you are exposed to small amounts of radioactivity. This exposure is less than in some types of radiographic examinations. Your doctor and the nuclear medicine doctor have decided that the clinical benefit of this procedure with the radiopharmaceutical outweighs the risk of exposure to these small amounts of radiation.

No useIoflupano (123I) ROTOP

• if you are allergic to ioflupano (123I) or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section6).
• if you are pregnant.

Some medications may reduce the quality of the image obtained. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking them for a short period before receivingIoflupano (123I) ROTOP.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, consult your nuclear medicine doctor before this medication is administered.

You must inform your nuclear medicine doctor before administration of Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP if there is a possibility you are pregnant, if you experience a delay in your period, or if you are breastfeeding.

It is essential to consult your nuclear medicine doctor, who will oversee the procedure, in case of doubt.

If you are pregnant, do not use Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP. This is because the fetus may receive part of the radioactivity. In this case, alternative techniques that do not involve radioactivity should be considered.

If you are breastfeeding, your nuclear medicine doctor may delay the use of Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP or ask you to stop breastfeeding.The passage of ioflupano (123I) into breast milk is unknown.

• Do not breastfeed your baby for 3days after administration of Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP.
• Use formula milk to feed your child.Express your breast milk regularly and discard the milk you have expressed.
• You should continue doing this for 3days, until the radioactivity is no longer in your body.

Ioflupano (123I) ROTOP has no known influence on the ability to drive and operate machinery.

Ioflupano (123I) ROTOPcontains4% ethanol (alcohol), which corresponds to a quantity of 158 mg per dose, equivalent to less than 4 ml of beer or 1.6 ml of wine.

The small amount of alcohol in this medication has no perceptible effects.

This medication containsless than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per vial; it is essentially "sodium-free".

There are strict laws regarding the use, handling, and disposal of radioactivity.Ioflupan (123I) ROTOPwill be used only in a hospital or a similar setting. Only trained and qualified personnel will handle and administer it safely. These individuals will inform you on how to use this medication safely.

The nuclear physician overseeing the procedure will decide the amount of Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP to be used in your case. This will be the minimum amount necessary to obtain the desired information.

Before receiving Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP, your nuclear physician will ask you to take some tablets or liquids containing iodine. These prevent the accumulation of radioactivity in the thyroid gland. It is essential that you take the tablets or liquid as instructed by your physician.

Administration of Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP and procedure

Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP is administered as an injection, usually into a vein in the arm. The recommended dose for an adult typically ranges from 111 to 185MBq (megabecquerel, the unit used to express radioactivity). A single injection is sufficient.

Procedure duration

Images from the camera are usually taken between 3 and 6hours after the injection of Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP.

Your nuclear physician will inform you about the typical duration of the procedure.

After administration of Ioflupan (123I) ROTOP, you shouldurinate frequently to quickly eliminate the product from your body.

Your nuclear physician will inform you if you need to take any special precautions after receiving this medication. If you have any questions, consult your nuclear physician.
