Dosage and Administration

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Adjust the volume and concentration of OPTIRAY. Modify the dose accounting for factors such as age, body weight, vessel size, blood flow rate within the vessel. Please see details in full Prescribing Information. ( 2 ) 2.1 Important Administration Instructions OPTIRAY is for intravascular use only [see Boxed Warning, Contraindications ( 4 ), Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] . Use sterile technique for all handling and administration of OPTIRAY. Inspect glass and plastic containers prior to use for breakage or other damage and do not use damaged containers. Warm OPTIRAY and administer at body or room temperature. Inspect OPTIRAY for particulate matter or discoloration before administration. Do not administer if OPTIRAY contains particulate matter or is discolored. Do not mix OPTIRAY with other drugs, solutions or total parenteral nutrition mixtures. Use the lowest dose necessary to obtain adequate visualization. Adjust the volume and concentration of OPTIRAY. Modify the dose accounting for factors such as age, body weight, vessel size, blood flow rate within the vessel, anticipated pathology, degree and extent of opacification required, structure(s) or area to be examined, disease processes affecting the patient, and equipment and technique to be employed. Avoid extravasation when injecting OPTIRAY; especially in patients with severe arterial or venous disease [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.6 )]. Hydrate patients before and after OPTIRAY administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )]. Discard unused portion of OPTIRAY from single-dose container after use. 2.2 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-Tagged Syringe Directions for Use The RFID-tagged syringe must be used with an Optivantage Injector with RFID technology [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling ( 16.2 )] . The RFID tag allows for the exchange of product information such as lot number, expiration, concentration, and identification of the syringe as being “unused” prior to use and “used” after product administration. Do not operate any part of the Optivantage Injector System and RFID-tagged syringes within 6 inches (15 cm) of a pacemaker and/or defibrillator. If the RFID tag is damaged or otherwise non-functional, the OPTIRAY syringe with the non-functional RFID tag may still be used; however, no data will be transferred to the injector. 2.3 Intra-arterial Procedures in Adults Cerebral Arteriography Use OPTIRAY 300 or OPTIRAY 320. The recommended dose for visualization of cerebral arteries is shown below (may repeat as necessary): Diagnostic area Dose Maximum Cumulative Dose carotid or vertebral arteries 2 mL to 12 mL 200 mL aortic arch injection (four vessel study) 20 mL to 50 mL 200 mL Peripheral Arteriography Use OPTIRAY 300, OPTIRAY 320 or OPTIRAY 350. The recommended dose for visualization of peripheral arteries is shown below (may repeat as necessary): Diagnostic area Dose Maximum Cumulative Dose aorta-iliac runoff 60 mL (range 20 mL to 90 mL)...

The following listing shows adverse reactions based upon clinical trials with OPTIRAY (ioversol) in 4,187 patients. Adverse reactions are listed by organ system according to clinical importance. More severe reactions are listed before others in a system regardless of incidence. The most common reaction is nausea, occurring at a rate of 1 percent. Cardiac disorders Cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, atrioventricular block complete, atrioventricular block, nodal rhythm, bradycardia, angina pectoris, palpitations Ear and labyrinth disorders Vertigo, tinnitus Eye disorders Vision blurred, periorbital edema, conjunctivitis Gastrointestinal disorders Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dysphagia, dry mouth General disorders and administration site conditions Chest pain, pain, injection site pain, injection site hematoma, extravasation, pyrexia, swelling, asthenia, malaise, fatigue, chills Infections and infestations Rhinitis Injury, poisoning, and procedural complications Heart injury, vascular pseudoaneurysm Investigations Electrocardiogram ST segment depression, blood pressure decreased Metabolism and nutrition disorders Acidosis Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders Muscular weakness, muscle spasms, back pain Nervous system disorders Cerebral infarction, aphasia, tremor, dizziness, presyncope, headache, paraesthesia, dysgeusia Psychiatric disorders Hallucination, visual hallucination, disorientation, anxiety Renal and urinary disorders Urinary retention, renal pain, polyuria Respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders Laryngeal edema, hypoxia, pulmonary edema, dyspnea, hyperventilation, cough, sneezing, nasal congestion Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders Urticaria, rash, pruritus, swelling face, hyperhidrosis, erythema Vascular disorders Hypertension, hypotension, arterial spasm, vasospasm, vasodilation, flushing Pediatric Patients In clinical studies involving 311 patients for pediatric angiocardiography, contrast enhanced computed tomographic imaging of the head and body, and intravenous excretory urography; 6% of patients reported an adverse reaction, with the most common adverse reactions being nausea and fever. Adverse reactions reported were similar in quality and frequency to the adverse events reported by adults. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following additional adverse drug reactions have been reported during post-approval use of OPTIRAY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac disorders: coronary artery spasm, cyanosis, arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation, tachycardia, extrasystole), ECG abnormal. Endocrine disorders: hyperthyroidism,...

Drug Interactions

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drug-Drug Interactions Metformin In patients with renal impairment, metformin can cause lactic acidosis. Iodinated contrast agents appear to increase the risk of metformin induced lactic acidosis, possibly as a result of worsening renal function. Stop metformin at the time of, or prior to, OPTIRAY administration in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ; in patients with a history of hepatic impairment, alcoholism or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra-arterial iodinated contrast agents. Re-evaluate eGFR 48 hours after the imaging procedure, and reinstitute only after renal function is stable. Radioactive Iodine Administration of iodinated contrast agents may interfere with thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine (I 131) and decrease therapeutic efficacy in patients with carcinoma of the thyroid. The decrease in efficacy lasts for 6-8 weeks. Oral Cholecystographic Contrast Agents Renal toxicity has been reported in patients with liver impairment who were given oral cholecystographic agents followed by intravascular contrast agents. Administration of OPTIRAY should be postponed in patients who have recently received a cholecystographic contrast agent. 7.2 Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions Protein-Bound Iodine, Radioactive Iodine Determinations The results of protein bound iodine and radioactive iodine uptake studies, which depend on iodine estimation, will not accurately reflect thyroid function for up to 16 days following administration of iodinated contrast agent. However, thyroid function tests that do not depend on iodine estimations, e.g., T3 resin uptake and total or free thyroxine (T4) assays are not affected.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Postmarketing data with OPTIRAY use in pregnant women are insufficient to determine if there is a risk of drug-associated adverse developmental outcomes. Ioversol crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in small amounts [see Data] . In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed following daily intravenous administrations of ioversol to pregnant rats (from Gestation Day 7 to 17) and rabbits (Gestation Day 6 to 18) at doses 0.35 and 0.71 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Data Human Data Literature reports show that ioversol crosses the placenta and is visualized in the digestive tract of exposed infants after birth. Animal Data Developmental toxicity studies were conducted with ioversol given intravenously at doses of 0, 0.2, 0.8, and 3.2 g iodine/kg/day from Gestation Day 7 to 17 and 6 to 18, in rats and rabbits, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in either species at the maximum dose tested (3.2 g iodine/kg/day). Maternal toxicity was observed in rabbits at 0.8 and 3.2 g iodine/kg/day.

Overdosage

10 OVERDOSAGE The adverse effects of overdosage are life-threatening and affect mainly the pulmonary and cardiovascular system. Treatment of an overdosage is directed toward the support of all vital functions and prompt institution of symptomatic therapy. Ioversol does not bind to plasma or serum protein and is, therefore, dialyzable.
