Active Ingredient Description
Florbetaben ¹⁸F

Florbetaben ¹⁸F binds to β-amyloid neuritic plaques in the brain. It is a radiopharmaceutical indicated for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in the brains of adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive impairment.

Florbetapir ¹⁸F

Florbetapir ¹⁸F binds to β-amyloid plaques and the ¹⁸F isotope produces a positron signal that is detected by a PET scanner. Florbetapir ¹⁸F is indicated for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline.

Flutemetamol ¹⁸F

Flutemetamol ¹⁸F binds to β-amyloid neuritic plaques in the brain. It is a radiopharmaceutical medicinal product indicated for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of β-amyloid neuritic plaque density in the brains of adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive impairment. VIZAMYL should be used in conjunction with a clinical evaluation.
