Active Ingredient: Gadoteridol
Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), gadoteridol provides contrast enhancement of the brain, spine and surrounding tissues resulting in improved visualization (compared with unenhanced MRI) of lesions with abnormal vascularity or those thought to cause a disruption of the normal blood-brain barrier.
Gadoteridol can also be used for whole body MRI including the head, neck, liver, breast, muscoloskeletal system and soft tissue pathologies.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Intravenous
0.1 - 0.1 mmol per kg of body weight
From 0.1 To 0.1 mmol per kg of body weight once every day
The recommended dose of gadoteridol for brain imaging and spine pathologies is 0.1 mmol/kg (0.2 ml/kg).
Gadoteridol has been used in only a limited number of children aged between 6 months and 2 years. If an MRI procedure must be performed in this group, particular caution should be exercised.
The safety and efficacy of doses higher than 0.1 mmol/kg and sequential or repeat procedures have not been established.
