About this active substance

Gallium (68Ga) edotreotide is a radiopharmaceutical agent used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for the detection of neuroendocrine tumors. It binds to somatostatin receptors present on the surface of these tumors.

The medication is administered intravenously and provides detailed images of tumors, helping doctors diagnose and plan treatment.

Adverse reactions are rare but may include nausea, injection site reactions, or allergic responses. Radiation exposure is minimal and controlled.

It is important to follow the medical team's instructions and inform your doctor about any other treatments or conditions before administration.
