Why two NDCs? The FDA registers this code as 45548-141-30 — a 5-3-2 layout, and that's what's printed on the package and shown on DailyMed. For insurance claims, every NDC is standardized to a uniform 11-digit 5-4-2 format by adding a zero to the product segment → 45548-0141-30. Same drug, same package — only the format differs.

Where does this data come from?
NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ~3 min read ▾

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Pharmacologic induction of cardiovascular stress may be associated with serious adverse events such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypotension, bronchoconstriction and cerebrovascular events ( 5.1 ). Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi has been rarely associated with acute severe allergic and anaphylactic events of angioedema and generalized urticaria. In some patients the allergic symptoms developed on the second injection during Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi imaging ( 5.1 ).

Caution should be exercised and emergency equipment should be available when administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi ( 5.1 ). Before administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi patients should be asked about the possibility of allergic reactions to either drug ( 5.1 ). The contents of the vial are intended only for use in the preparation of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and are not to be administered directly to the patient without first undergoing the preparative procedure ( 5.2 ).

5.1Warnings In studying patients in whom cardiac disease is known or suspected, care should be taken to assure continuous monitoring and treatment in accordance with safe, accepted clinical procedure. Infrequently, death has occurred 4 to 24 hours after Tc 99m Sestamibi use and is usually associated with exercise stress testing [ see General Precautions ( 5.2 ) ]. Pharmacologic induction of cardiovascular stress may be associated with serious adverse events such as myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, hypotension, bronchoconstriction and cerebrovascular events.

Caution should be used when pharmacologic stress is selected as an alternative to exercise; it should be used when indicated and in accordance with the pharmacologic stress agent's labeling. Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi has been rarely associated with acute severe allergic and anaphylactic events of angioedema and generalized urticaria. In some patients the allergic symptoms developed on the second injection during Tc 99m Sestamibi imaging.

Patients who receive Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi for either myocardial or breast imaging are receiving the same drug. Caution should be exercised and emergency equipment should be available when administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi. Also, before administering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi Injection, patients should be asked about the possibility of allergic reactions to the drug.

5.2General Precautions The contents of the vial are intended only for use in the preparation of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and are not to be administered directly to the patient without first undergoing the preparative procedure. Radioactive drugs must be handled with care and appropriate safety measures should be used to minimize radiation exposure to clinical personnel. Also, care should be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the patients consistent with proper patient management.

Contents of the kit before preparation are not radioactive. However, after the Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection is added, adequate shielding of the final preparation must be maintained. The components of the kit are sterile and non-pyrogenic.

It is essential to follow directions carefully and to adhere to strict aseptic procedures during preparation. Technetium Tc 99m labeling reactions depend on maintaining the stannous ion in the reduced state. Hence, Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection containing oxidants should not be used.

Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi should not be used more than six hours after preparation. Radiopharmaceuticals should be used only by physicians who are qualified by training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate government agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides. Stress testing should be performed only under the supervision of a qualified physician and in a laboratory equipped with appropriate resuscitation and support apparatus.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ~3 min read ▾

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS In one study of 46 subjects who received Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration, the radioactivity in both children and adolescents exhibited blood PK profiles similar to those previously reported in adults ( 8.4 ). Lactation: Interruption of breastfeeding after exposure to Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is not necessary, however, a lactating woman should be advised to consider restricting close contact with her breast fed infant to a maximum of 5 hours in the 24 hour period after Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration in order to minimize radiation exposure ( 8.2 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited available data with Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction and teratogenicity studies have not been conducted with Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi. However, all radiopharmaceuticals have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose.

If considering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration to a pregnant woman, inform the patient about the potential for adverse pregancy outcomes based on the radiation dose from Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and the gestational timing of exposure. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregancies is 2 % to 4 % and 15 % to 20 %, respectively.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Limited data in the scientific literature on the presence of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in human milk, demonstrate that between 0.01 % and 0.03 % of maternal injected activity of technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi was excreted in human milk. Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi accumulates in the lactating breast [see Clinical Considerations]. There are limited data in the scientific literature on effects of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi on the breastfed infant or on milk production.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi or from the underlying maternal condition. Clinical Considerations Interruption of breastfeeding after exposure of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is not necessary because Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi excretion in breast milk is low. However, a lactating woman may restrict close contact with her breast fed infant to a maximum of 5 hours in the 24 hour period after Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration in order to minimize radiation exposure.

8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established. No evidence of diagnostic efficacy or clinical utility of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scan was found in clinical studies of children and adolescents with Kawasaki disease. A prospective study of 445 pediatric patients with Kawasaki disease was designed to determine the predictive value of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi rest and stress myocardial perfusion imaging to define a pediatric population with Kawasaki disease that was at risk of developing cardiac events.

Cardiac events were defined as cardiac death, MI, hospitalization due to cardiac etiology, heart failure, CABG or coronary angioplasty. The standard of truth was defined as cardiac events occurring 6 months following the administration of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi. Only three cardiac events were observed at six months in this study.

In all three cases, the scan was negative. No clinically meaningful measurements of sensitivity, specificity or other diagnostic performance parameters could be demonstrated in this study.

🤰 Pregnancy 154 words ▾

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Limited available data with Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction and teratogenicity studies have not been conducted with Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi. However, all radiopharmaceuticals have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose.

If considering Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration to a pregnant woman, inform the patient about the potential for adverse pregancy outcomes based on the radiation dose from Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and the gestational timing of exposure. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregancies is 2 % to 4 % and 15 % to 20 %, respectively.

Only three cardiac events were observed at six months in this study.

In all three cases, the scan was negative. No clinically meaningful measurements of sensitivity, specificity or other diagnostic performance parameters could be demonstrated in this study. A ten year retrospective case history study of pediatric Kawasaki disease patients who completed Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging and who had coronary angiography within three months of the Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scan was designed to measure sensitivity and specificity of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scan.

Out of 72 patients who had both evaluable Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scans and evaluable angiographic images, only one patient had both an abnormal angiogram and an abnormal Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scan. No clinically meaningful measurements of sensitivity, specificity or other diagnostic performance parameters could be demonstrated in this study. In a clinical pharmacology study, 46 pediatric patients with Kawasaki disease received Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi administration at the following doses: 0.1 to 0.2 mCi/kg for rest, 0.3 mCi/kg for stress in one day studies; 0.2 mCi/kg for rest and 0.2 mCi/kg for stress in two day studies.

The radioactivity both in younger children and in adolescents exhibited PK profiles similar to those previously reported in adults [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The radiation absorbed doses in adolescents, both at rest and stress, were similar to those observed in adults [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . When comparing weight-adjusted radioactivity (up to 0.3 mCi/kg) doses administered to adolescents and younger children to the recommended dose administered to adults (up to 30 mCi), the radiation absorbed doses in both adolescents and younger children were similar to those in adults.

Adverse events were evaluated in 609 pediatric patients from the three clinical studies described above. The frequency and the type of the adverse events were similar to the ones observed in the studies of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in adults. Two of the 609 had a serious adverse event: one patient received a Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi overdose but remained asymptomatic, and one patient had an asthma exacerbation following administration.

🧓 Geriatric Use 109 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Of 3068 patients in clinical studies of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi for myocardial imaging, 693 patients were 65 or older and 121 were 75 or older. Of 673 patients in clinical studies of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi for breast imaging, 138 patients were 65 or older and 30 were 75 or older. Based on the evaluation of the frequency of adverse events and review of vital signs data, no overall differences in safety were observed between these subjects and younger subjects.

Although reported clinical experience has not identified differences in response between elderly and younger patients, greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is a cationic Tc 99m complex which has been found to accumulate in viable myocardial tissue in a manner analogous to that of thallous chloride TI-201. Scintigraphic images obtained in humans after the intravenous administration of the drug have been comparable to those obtained with thallous chloride TI-201 in normal and abnormal myocardial tissue. Animal studies have shown that myocardial uptake is not blocked when the sodium pump mechanism is inhibited.

Although studies of subcellular fractionation and electron micrographic analysis of heart cell aggregates suggest that Tc 99m Sestamibi cellular retention occurs specifically within the mitochondria as a result of electrostatic interactions, the clinical relevance of these findings has not been determined. The mechanism of Tc 99m Sestamibi localization in various types of breast tissue (e.g., benign, inflammatory, malignant, fibrous) has not been established.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Pulmonary activity is negligible even immediately after injection. Blood clearance studies indicate that the fast clearing component clears with a t 1/2 of 4.3 minutes at rest, and clears with a t 1/2 of 1.6 minutes under exercise conditions. At five minutes post injection about 8 % of the injected dose remains in circulation.

There is less than 1% protein binding of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in plasma. The myocardial biological half-life is approximately six hours after a rest or exercise injection. The biological half-life for the liver is approximately 30 minutes after a rest or exercise injection.

The effective half-life of clearance (which includes both the biological half-life and radionuclide decay) for the heart is approximately 3 hours, and for the liver is approximately 30 minutes, after a rest or exercise injection. The ideal imaging time reflects the best compromise between heart count rate and surrounding organ uptake. Myocardial uptake which is coronary flow dependent is 1.2 % of the injected dose at rest and 1.5 % of the injected dose at exercise.

Table 6 illustrates the biological clearance as well as effective clearance (which includes biological clearance and radionuclide decay) of Tc 99m Sestamibi from the heart and liver.

0.2A study in a dog myocardial ischemia model reported that Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi undergoes myocardial distribution (redistribution), although more slowly and less completely than thallous chloride TI-201. A study in a dog myocardial infarction model reported that the drug showed no redistribution of any consequence. Definitive human studies to demonstrate possible redistribution have not been reported.

In patients with documented myocardial infarction, imaging revealed the infarct up to four hours post dose. Metabolism The agent is excreted without any evidence of metabolism. Elimination The major pathway for clearance of Tc 99m Sestamibi is the hepatobiliary system.

Activity from the gall bladder appears in the intestines within one hour of injection. Twenty-seven percent of the injected dose is excreted in the urine, and approximately thirty-three percent of the injected dose is cleared through the feces in 48 hours.

11 DESCRIPTION Each 10 mL vial contains a sterile, non-pyrogenic, lyophilized mixture of: Tetrakis (2-methoxy isobutyl isonitrile) Copper (I) tetrafluoroborate - 1 mg Sodium Citrate Dihydrate - 2.6 mg L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate - 1 mg Mannitol - 20 mg Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate, minimum (SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.025 mg Stannous Chloride, Dihydrate (SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.075 mg Tin Chloride (stannous and stannic) Dihydrate, maximum (as SnCl 2 2H 2 O) - 0.086 mg Prior to lyophilization the pH is 5.6 to 5.8. The contents of the vial are lyophilized and stored under nitrogen.

This drug is administered by intravenous injection for diagnostic use after reconstitution with sterile, non-pyrogenic, oxidant-free Sodium Pertechnetate Tc 99m Injection. The pH of the reconstituted product is 5.5 (5.0-6.0). No bacteriostatic preservative is present.

The precise structure of the technetium complex is Tc 99m[MIBI] 6 + where MIBI is 2-methoxyisobutylisonitrile.

11.1Physical Characteristics Technetium Tc 99m decays by isomeric transition with a physical half-life of 6.02 hours. 1 Photons that are useful for detection and imaging studies are listed below in Table 3. Table 3. Principal Radiation Emission Date Radiation Mean %/ Disintegration Mean Energy (KeV) Gamma-2 89.07 140.5 1 Kocher, David, C., Radioactive Decay Data Tables, DOE/TIC-11026, 108(1981).

11.2External Radiation The specific gamma ray constant for Tc 99m is 5.4 microcoulombs/kg-MBq-hr (0.78 R/mCi-hr) at 1 cm. The first half value layer is 0.017 cm of Pb. A range of values for the relative attenuation of the radiation emitted by this radionuclide that results from interposition of various thicknesses of Pb is shown in Table 4.

To facilitate control of the radiation exposure from Megabequerel (millicurie) amounts of this radionuclide, the use of a 0.25 cm thickness of Pb will attenuate the radiation emitted by a factor of 1,000.

8.2Lactation Risk Summary Limited data in the scientific literature on the presence of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi in human milk, demonstrate that between 0.01 % and 0.03 % of maternal injected activity of technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi was excreted in human milk. Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi accumulates in the lactating breast [see Clinical Considerations]. There are limited data in the scientific literature on effects of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi on the breastfed infant or on milk production.

The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi or from the underlying maternal condition. Clinical Considerations Interruption of breastfeeding after exposure of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi is not necessary because Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi excretion in breast milk is low.

🔬 Clinical Studies ~3 min read ▾

14 CLINICAL STUDIES Clinical Trials: Myocardial Imaging: In a trial of rest and stress Tc 99m Sestamibi imaging, the relationship of normal or abnormal perfusion scans and long term cardiac events was evaluated in 521 patients (511 men, 10 women) with stable chest pain. There were 73.9 % Caucasians, 25.9 % Blacks and 0.2 % Asians. The mean age was 59.6 years (range: 29 to 84 years).

All patients had a baseline rest and exercise Tc 99m Sestamibi scan and were followed for 13.2 ± 4.9 months (range: 1 to 24 months). Images were correlated with the occurrence of a cardiac event (cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction). In this trial as summarized in Table 7 , 24/521 (4.6 %) had a cardiac event.

Table 7. Cardiac Events Baseline Scan (a) Proportion of patients with events by scan results (a) Proportion of scan result in patients with events; N=24 (a) Proportion of event-free patients by scan result (a) Normal 1/206 (0.5 %) 1/24 (4.2 %) 205/206 (99.5 %) Abnormal 23/315 (7.3 %) (b) 23/24 (95.8 %) (b) 292/315 (92.7 %) (b) (a) Note: Similar findings were found in two studies with patients who had pharmacologic stress Tc 99m Sestamibi imaging. (b) p<0.01 Although patients with normal images had a lower cardiac event rate than those with abnormal images, in all patients with abnormal images it was not possible to predict which patient would be likely to have further cardiac events; i.e., such individuals were not distinguishable from other patients with abnormal images.

The findings were not evaluated for defect location, disease duration, specific vessel involvement or intervening management. In earlier trials, using a template consisting of the anterior wall, inferior-posterior wall and isolated apex, localization in the anterior or inferior-posterior wall in patients with suspected angina or coronary artery disease was shown. Disease localization isolated to the apex has not been established.

In adults, Tc 99m Sestamibi has not been studied or evaluated in cardiac disorders other than coronary artery disease. Breast Imaging: Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi was evaluated in two multicenter, clinical trials of a total of 673 woman patients. Overall the mean age was 52 (range 23 to 87 years).

The racial and ethnic representation was 70% Caucasian, 15 % African-American, 14 % Hispanic and 1% Asian. Both clinical studies evaluated women who were referred for further evaluation for either: 1) a mammographically detected (with varying degrees of malignant likelihood) but not palpable breast lesion (study A, n=387, mean age = 54 years), or 2) a palpable breast lesion (study B, n=286, mean age = 50 years). In both studies all patients were scheduled for biopsy.

Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi (20 to 30 mCi) was injected intravenously in a vein that was contralateral to the breast lesion in question. Planar imaging was completed with a high resolution collimator with a 10 % window centered at 140 keV, and 128 x 128 matrix. An initial marker image, that was not used in the data analysis, was obtained using a cobalt Co57 point source as a marker of a palpable mass.

Images were obtained 5 minutes after injection as follows: lateral image of the affected breast for 10 minutes, lateral image of the contralateral breast for 10 minutes, and an anterior image of both breasts for 10 minutes. For the lateral image the patients were positioned in a prone position. For the anterior image, the patients were supine.

The Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi scintigraphic images were read in a randomized method by two groups of three blinded readers. Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi uptake was scored as: normal (no uptake), equivocal, low, moderate, or high uptake. The results of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi images and mammography were analyzed in comparison to histopathologic findings of malignant or non-malignant disease.

As shown in Table 8 for the 483 evaluable patients, the sensitivity and specificity of any degree of Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi uptake appear to vary w… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]

13.1Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility In comparison with most other diagnostic technetium labeled radiopharmaceuticals, the radiation dose to the ovaries (1.5 rads/30 mCi at rest, 1.2 rads/30 mCi at exercise) is high. Minimal exposure (ALARA) is necessary in women of childbearing capability [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 )] . The active intermediate, Cu(MIBI) 4 BF 4 , was evaluated for genotoxic potential in a battery of five tests.

No genotoxic activity was observed in the Ames, CHO/HPRT and sister chromatid exchange tests (all in vitro ). At cytotoxic concentrations(> 20 mcg/mL), an increase in cells with chromosome aberrations was observed in the in vitro human lymphocyte assay. Cu(MIBI) 4 BF 4 did not show genotoxic effects in the in vivo mouse micronucleus test at a dose which caused systemic and bone marrow toxicity (9 mg/kg, > 600 x maximal human dose).

Questions about this listing

Why is there no price listed?
The pricing shown on our NDC pages comes from CMS NADAC, a voluntary survey of retail community pharmacy invoices. CMS does not publish a NADAC for every NDC — packages outside the retail survey (institutional and hospital products, bulk packages, discontinued items, and many OTC items) may never receive one. A missing price reflects the survey's scope, not this product's actual cost, and does not mean the product is free or unavailable.
Is the NDC printed on the package the same as the 11-digit billing NDC?
Yes, they identify this exact package in different formats. The form printed on the packaging and shown on DailyMed is the one the FDA registered. Insurance claims use a fixed 11-digit 5-4-2 format, so the short segment is padded with a leading zero and the dashes are dropped. The Identity section at the top of this page lists each form of this code.
Is this package still being marketed?
Yes, per the latest FDA NDC Directory data on this page: this package is listed as actively marketed, with no marketing end date reported by Jubilant Draximage (USA) Inc.. Listing status can change — the directory data on this page refreshes weekly.
Does this product come in other package sizes?
Yes — the FDA directory lists 2 other package presentations of this same product, including 5 vials (45548-0141-05), 10 vials (45548-0141-10). Each has its own NDC and its own page — see the package list near the top of this page.
