Important Safety Information
WARNING: NEPHROGENIC SYSTEMIC FIBROSIS (NSF)
See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning
- The risk for NSF appears highest among patients with:
- Chronic, severe kidney disease (GFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2), or
- Acute kidney injury.
- Screen patients for acute kidney injury and other conditions that may reduce renal function. For patients at risk for chronically reduced renal function (for example, age more than 60 years, hypertension, or diabetes), estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) through laboratory testing.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Gadoterate Meglumine Injection is a gadolinium-based contrast agent indicated: for intravenous use with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain (intracranial), spine and associated tissues in adult and pediatric patients (including term neonates) to detect and visualize areas with disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and/or abnormal vascularity.
Gadoterate Meglumine Injection is contraindicated in clinically important hypersensitivity reactions to Gadoterate Meglumine Injection.
Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis has occurred in patients with impaired elimination of GBCAs. Higher than recommended dosing or repeat dosing appear to increase the risk.
Hypersensitivity: Anaphylactoid/anaphylactic reactions with cardiovascular, respiratory, or cutaneous manifestations, ranging from mild to severe, including death, have uncommonly occurred. Monitor patients closely for need of emergency cardiorespiratory support.
Gadolinium is retained for months or years in brain, bone, and other organs.
Adverse Events: The most frequent (≥ 0.2%) adverse reactions in clinical studies were nausea, headache, injection site pain, injection site coldness, and rash.
