Other Information

GE Healthcare (Medi-Physics, Inc.) Sodium Iodide I-123 for diagnostic use is supplied as capsules for oral administration. At calibration time, each capsule has an activity of 3.7 MBq (100 µCi) or 7.4 MBq (200 µCi). Each gelatin capsule contains not more than 20 µg of sodium hydroxide and not more than 1 g of sucrose. Each capsule also contains FD&C Yellow No. 6.

Sodium Iodide I-123 is an odorless compound, freely soluble in water. The I-123 is produced in an accelerator by bombardment of enriched Xe-124 with protons [Xe-124 (p,2n) Cs-123Image from Drug Label ContentXe-123Image from Drug Label Content I-123].

The radionuclidic composition at calibration time is not less than 99.5% I-123 and not more than 0.5% all other nuclides (Te-121, I-125, I-131, I-126, I-124, I-130, I-121 and Na-24). The radionuclidic composition at expiration time is not less than 98.28% I-123 and not more than 1.72% all other nuclides (Te-121, I-125, I-131, I-126, I-124, I-130, I-121 and Na-24).
