Proper Use
A doctor or other trained health professional will give you this medicine. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins just before you have a planar scintigraphy or SPECT scan.
Your doctor may ask you not to eat or drink anything for several hours before your test.
You may be asked to sit upright while you receive your injection.
Your planar scintigraphy or SPECT scan will be performed within 10 to 20 minutes after you receive this medicine.
