About Ultratag RBC

What is this medication?

Ultratag RBC is a specialized prescription kit used in nuclear medicine to prepare radiolabeled red blood cells for diagnostic imaging procedures. The kit contains chemicals, specifically stannous chloride, that prepare a patient's own red blood cells to bond with a radioactive isotope called technetium Tc 99m. Once the blood cells are labeled, they are reinjected into the patient so that specialized cameras can track the movement and distribution of blood throughout the body.

This medication is primarily used to perform blood pool imaging studies, which help physicians evaluate the heart's pumping function through a procedure known as a MUGA scan. It is also frequently utilized to locate the source of internal gastrointestinal bleeding or to image the spleen. By using the patient's own cells as a carrier for the radioactive tracer, doctors can obtain clear images of the circulatory system and identify various cardiovascular or internal abnormalities.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with technetium Tc 99m red blood cells. It is also not known whether this drug can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Technetium Tc 99m red blood cells should be administered to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Ideally, examinations using radiopharmaceuticals, especially those elective in nature, of a woman of childbearing capability should be performed during the first few (approximately 10) days following the onset of menses.
