About this active substance

Perflutren is a contrast agent used in ultrasound imaging to enhance the visualization of cardiac and vascular structures. It contains gas microbubbles that reflect ultrasound waves, providing clearer and more detailed images.

The medication is administered intravenously under the supervision of a specialist during the imaging procedure. It is important to inform your doctor about any allergies or pre-existing conditions before administration.

Side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis.

Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or cardiovascular conditions to ensure the safe use of perflutren.
