1. What Veoplore is and what it is used for

This medication is indicated only for diagnostic use.

Veoplore can only be used in patients who are able to perform the test, regardless of age.

2. What you need to know before starting to use Veoplore

  • Unless your doctor has requested that you undergo pulmonary function tests.
  • If you are allergic to helium or carbon monoxide, or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • If you show signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before using Veoplore.

Your doctor will assess whether you have any contraindications for undergoing a pulmonary function test or any disease that may pose a risk to you or interfere with the test.

During the test, you must follow the instructions given by the operator.

If you have a history of coronary artery disease, you may be at risk of ST segment depression (an abnormal electrocardiogram reading) caused by carbon monoxide.

During the test, there may be a slight increase in blood carboxyhemoglobin concentration.

Inhaling carbon monoxide can cause symptoms of decreased oxygen supply, such as dizziness, chest pain, and disorientation. If any symptoms of this nature occur, the use of this product should be stopped immediately, and medical treatment should be administered if necessary.

Children

3. How to use Veoplore

Always inhale this medicinal gas exactly as your doctor or nurse has indicated, and only during the pulmonary function test. Consult your doctor or nurse if you are unsure.

Only your doctor can decide the duration of the pulmonary function test and the frequency of repeating the test.

If you take more Veoplore than you should

Your doctor or nurse will take the necessary measures.

While inhaling this medicinal gas during a pulmonary function test procedure, there are very unlikely symptoms related to the pulmonary function test itself, such as dizziness, chest pain, and disorientation.
