This medication is a radioisotope for diagnostic use only.
MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy contains a substance called tetrafluoroborato de [tetrakis(1-isocianuro-2-metoxi-2-metilpropil)cobre(I)] that is used to study the function and blood flow (myocardial perfusion) of the heart by generating an image of it (gammagraphy), for example, to detect heart attacks (myocardial infarcts) or when a disease causes a decrease in blood supply (ischemia) to the cardiac muscle (or part of it). MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy is also used in the diagnosis of breast abnormalities, along with other diagnostic methods when the results are not conclusive. MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy may also be used to locate the position of hyperactive parathyroid glands (glands that secrete the hormone that controls blood calcium levels).
After injecting MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy, it temporarily accumulates in certain parts of the body. This radioisotope contains a small amount of radioactivity, which can be detected from outside the body using special cameras. Your nuclear physician will then obtain an image (gammagraphy) of the affected organ, which can provide your doctor with valuable information about the structure and function of the organ or the location, for example, of a tumor.
The administration of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy involves receiving a small amount of radioactivity. Your doctor and the nuclear physician have considered that the clinical benefit you will obtain from the exploration with the radioisotope outweighs the risk of radiation.

Warnings and precautions
Be especially careful with MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy
You must inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are in any of these circumstances. Your nuclear medicine doctor will inform you if you need to take any special precautions after using this medication. Consult your nuclear medicine doctor if you have any questions.
Before administration of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy you must
Children and adolescents
Inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are under 18 years old.
Use of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy with other medications
Several medications, foods, and beverages may negatively affect the outcome of the scheduled study. Therefore, it is recommended to discuss with your referring doctor what products you should interrupt before the study and when you should restart taking medications. Also, inform your nuclear medicine doctor if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication, as they may interfere with the interpretation of the images.
Inform your nuclear medicine doctor in particular if you are taking medications that affect heart function and/or blood flow.
Consult your nuclear medicine doctor before taking any medication.
Pregnancy and lactation
You must inform your nuclear medicine doctor before administration of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy if there is any possibility that you may be pregnant, if you experience a delay in your period, or if you are breastfeeding. In case of doubt, it is essential to consult your nuclear medicine doctor who will supervise the procedure.
If you are pregnant
Your nuclear medicine doctor will only administer this medication during pregnancy if the expected benefit outweighs the risk.
If you are breastfeeding
Inform your nuclear medicine doctor, as they may advise you to interrupt breastfeeding until the radioactivity has been eliminated from your body. This takes about 24 hours. The milk obtained should be discarded. Consult your nuclear medicine doctor when you can resume breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your nuclear medicine doctor before they administer this medication.
Driving and operating machines
It is considered unlikely that MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy will affect your ability to drive or operate machines.
MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy contains sodium
This medication contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per vial, which is essentially "sodium-free".
There are strict rules regarding the use, handling, and disposal of radiopharmaceuticals. MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy will be used exclusively in special controlled areas. This product will only be handled and administered by trained and qualified personnel to use it safely. Those individuals will take special care in the safe use of this product and will inform you of their actions.
The nuclear medicine physician supervising the procedure will decide the amount of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy to be used in your case. This will be the minimum amount necessary to obtain the desired information.
The generally recommended dose for an adult varies, depending on the test to be performed, between 200 and 2,000 MBq (Megabequerelios, the unit used to express radioactivity).
Use in children and adolescents
The dose to be administered will be adjusted according to your body weight in children and adolescents.
Administration of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy and procedure performance
MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy is administered through a vein in the arm or foot (intravenous administration).
One or two injections are sufficient to perform the procedure your doctor needs.
After the injection, you will be offered a drink and asked to urinate immediately before starting the procedure.
The nuclear medicine physician will inform you if you need to take any special precautions after receiving this medication. Consult with your nuclear medicine physician if you have any doubts.
The solution ready for use will be injected into a vein before obtaining the gammagraphy.The images will be obtained within 5 to 10 minutes or up to six hours after the injection, depending on the procedure.
In the case of a cardiac study, two injections may be necessary, one at rest and another under stress (for example, during physical exercise or pharmacological stress).The two injections will be applied with a separation interval of at least two hours, and you will be administered a dose not exceeding 2,000 MBq in total (protocol of 1 day). A two-day protocol is also possible.
For mammography to detect breast anomalies, an injection of 750 to 1,100 MBq is administered into a vein in the opposite arm to the affected breast or in a vein in the foot.
To locate the position of hyperactive parathyroid glands, the administered activity varies between 185 and 1,100 MBq, depending on the methods used.
If the medication is to be used to obtain heart images, you will be asked not to eat anything for at least four hours before the test. After the injection, but before obtaining the image (gammagraphy), you will be asked to ingest a low-fat meal, if possible, or to drink one or two glasses of milk, in order to reduce the radioactivity of your liver and to improve the image.
Procedure duration
Your nuclear medicine physician will inform you about the usual duration of the procedure.
After administration of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy, you must:
The nuclear medicine physician will inform you if you need to take any special precautions after receiving this medication. Consult with your nuclear medicine physician if you have any doubts.
If you have been administered more MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy than you should
It is unlikely to have an overdose because you will only receive a single controlled dose of MIBI Institute of Atomic Energy by the nuclear medicine physician supervising the procedure. However, in the event of an overdose, you will receive the appropriate treatment. In particular, the nuclear medicine physician in charge of the procedure may recommend that you drink a lot of water to facilitate the elimination of the product from your body.
If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask the nuclear medicine physician supervising the procedure.
Like all medications,this medicationmay cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Rarely observed allergic reactions may manifest with difficulty breathing, extreme fatigue, nausea (usually within 2 hours of administration), and swelling under the skin that may appear in areas such as the face and extremities (angioedema), and obstruct airways, or lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure (hypotension) and a slowing of heart rate (bradycardia). Doctors are aware of this possibility and have emergency treatment available for use in these cases. Rarely observed local skin reactions with itching, hives, rash, swelling, and redness have also been observed. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your nuclear medicine doctor immediately.
