lactulose fludeoxyglucose F-18
Applies to: Cephulac (lactulose), fludeoxyglucose f18
MONITOR: Certain medications may interfere with the results of diagnostic studies using fludeoxyglucose F18 by increasing or decreasing uptake of the agent into tissues.
MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of possible diagnostic interference associated with the following medications: colony-stimulating factors may increase uptake in spleen and bone marrow; glucose-induced hyperglycemia may interfere with uptake; dopamine and insulin may decrease myocardial and tumor cell uptake; laxative-induced intestinal muscle activity and/or irritation may increase intestinal uptake. Separation of the diagnostic test and the interfering agent may be advisable in some instances. Package labeling and local protocols should be consulted for further information.
