Interactions between your drugs
carvedilol pyrophosphate
Applies to: Coreg CR (carvedilol), pyrophosphate
MONITOR: Medicinal products including sodium heparin, prazosin, methyldopa, hydralazine, quinidine, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, digitalis glycosides, nitrates, anthracyclines, and iodinated contrast agents may interfere with the blood pool images taken using Technetium Tc 99m pyrophosphate. This is characterized by a reduction in the amount of injected radioactivity remaining in the blood pool.
MANAGEMENT: Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of a diagnostic interference. When use of iodinated contrast media is anticipated, it is recommended to perform the scintigraphy with (99mTc)-labeled red blood cells prior to administration of the iodinated contrast media to avoid adversely affecting the red blood cell labeling.
