This medication is for diagnostic use only. It is used only to identify diseases.

Myoview belongs to a group of medications called “radioactive pharmaceuticals.” It is administered before an examination and helps a special camera to see inside a part of the body.

• It contains the active ingredient called “tetrofosmin”. It is mixed with a radioactive component called “technetium-99m” before use.
• Once injected, it can be detected from the outside of the body by a special camera used in the examination.
• The examination may help your nuclear medicine doctor to check the functioning of the heart or to see heart lesions after a myocardial infarction.
• Other people receive this medication before an examination to examine lumps in the breasts.

Your nuclear medicine doctor or nurse will explain which part of your body will be examined.

The administration of Myoview involves receiving a small amount of radioactivity. Your doctor and the nuclear medicine doctor have considered the clinical benefit you will obtain from the procedure with the radioactive pharmaceutical to outweigh the risk of radiation.

Myoview should not be used:

• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to Myoview or to any of the other components of Myoview. (Indicated in section 6).
• If you are pregnant or think you may be.

Do not use Myoview if you are in any of the above circumstances. If you are unsure, speak with your nuclear medicine doctor.

Warnings and precautions

Be especially careful with Myoview

Speak with your nuclear medicine doctor before using Myoview:

• The person to whom this medication will be administered is a child or adolescent.
• You have a delayed menstrual period. This may indicate that you are pregnant and, therefore, should not receive Myoview (see the section “Pregnancy and breastfeeding”).
• You are following a low-sodium diet.
• You are breastfeeding.

Before Myoview administration, you must:

Drink plenty of water before starting the procedure to urinate very frequently during the first hours after its completion.

Children and adolescents

The safety and efficacy in patients under 18 years have not been established. Inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are under 18 years.

Use of Myoview with other medications

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

If you are to undergo a heart examination, inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are taking any of the following types of medications. This is because they may affect the results of the examination::

• Beta blockers, such as atenolol, bisoprolol, or propranolol.
• Calcium antagonists, such as nifedipine, diltiazem, or felodipine.
• Nitrates, such as glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, or isosorbide dinitrate.
• Any medication for high blood pressure, the heart, or heart failure.

If you are unsure whether you are in any of the above circumstances, speak with your nuclear medicine doctor before using Myoview.

Use of Myoview with food and beverages

If you are to undergo:

• A heart examination: you may be asked not to eat anything the night before the examination. Or you may be asked to have only a light breakfast on the day of the examination.
• A breast examination: you may eat and drink normally.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

You must inform your nuclear medicine doctor before Myoview administration if there is any possibility that you may be pregnant, if you have a delayed menstrual period, or if you are breastfeeding.

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

If you are pregnant

You should not receive Myoview if you are pregnant or think you may be. This is because it could affect your child.

Your nuclear medicine doctor will only administer this medication during pregnancy if the expected benefit outweighs the risk.

If you are breastfeeding

Do not breastfeed if you receive Myoview. This is because small amounts of radioactivity may pass to the mother's milk. If you are breastfeeding, your nuclear medicine doctor may wait until you have finished breastfeeding before using Myoview. If this is not possible, your nuclear medicine doctor may ask you to:

• Interrupt breastfeeding for 3 to 6 hours
• Use formula for your child
• Express and discard breast milk

Please consult with your nuclear medicine doctor when you can resume breastfeeding.

Driving and operating machinery

It is considered unlikely that Myoview will affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.Consult your doctor if you can drive or operate machinery after receiving Myoview.

Myoview contains sodium

The use of Myoview involves exposure to “radioactivity”.

• Your nuclear medicine doctor will always consider the possible risks and benefits before administering the medication.
