⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • For myocardial perfusion imaging: Planar 37 MBq to 74 MBq (1 mCi to 2 mCi) ( 2.2 ) SPECT 74 MBq to 111 MBq (2 mCi to 3 mCi) ( 2.2 ) For localization of parathyroid hyperactivity, planar or SPECT: 75 MBq to 130 MBq (2 mCi to 3.5 mCi) Administer by intravenous injection. ( 2.2 ) See full prescribing information for administration and imaging instructions and radiation dosimetry information. ( 2.3 , 2.4 )
2.1Radiation Safety – Drug Handling Handle Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection with appropriate safety measures to minimize radiation exposure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Use waterproof gloves, effective radiation shielding, and other appropriate safety measures when preparing and handling Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection. Radiopharmaceuticals should be used by or under the control of healthcare providers who are qualified by specific training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides, and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate governmental agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides.
2.2Recommended Dose Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Adults Planar scintigraphy: 37 MBq to 74 MBq (1 mCi to 2 mCi) administered intravenously SPECT: 74 MBq to 111 MBq (2 mCi to 3 mCi) administered intravenously Parathyroid Hyperactivity Localization in Adults Planar or SPECT: 75 MBq to 130 MBq (2 mCi to 3.5 mCi) administered intravenously
2.3Administration and Imaging Instructions Patient Preparation Instruct patients to hydrate before and after Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection administration and to void before imaging and frequently thereafter following Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection administration [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] . Administration Use aseptic technique and radiation shielding when withdrawing and administering Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection. Visually inspect the drug for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever the solution and container permit.
Do not use if contents are turbid or discolored. Measure the patient dose with a dose calibrator immediately prior to administration. Use within 6 days from the manufacturer’s calibration date or 9 days from the date of manufacture, whichever comes first.
Dispose of unused products in a safe manner in compliance with applicable regulations. Myocardial Perfusion Imaging For resting myocardial studies, begin imaging 10 minutes to 20 minutes after administration of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection. Target-to-background ratios are improved when patients are injected upright and in the fasting state; the upright position reduces the hepatic and gastric thallium-201 concentration.
For exercise stress testing, administer Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection at the start of a period of maximum stress, which is sustained for approximately 30 seconds after injection. Begin imaging within 10 minutes after administration to obtain maximum target-to-background ratios. Within 2 hours after the completion of the stress testing, the target-to-background ratios may decrease in lesions that are attributable to transient ischemia.
Parathyroid Hyperactivity Localization For localization of parathyroid hyperactivity, administer Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection before, with, or after a minimal dose of a thyroid imaging agent such as sodium pertechnetate Tc 99m injection or sodium iodide I 123 capsules to enable thyroid subtraction imaging.

👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: Temporarily discontinue breastfeeding. A lactating woman should pump and discard breast milk for at least 96 hours after Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection administration. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data on Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Studies using human placentas demonstrate that thallous chloride Tl 201 crosses the placenta. No animal reproductive studies have been conducted.
All radiopharmaceuticals, including Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection have the potential to cause fetal harm depending on the fetal stage of development and the magnitude of the radiation dose. If considering administration of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection to a pregnant woman, inform the patient about the potential for adverse pregnancy outcomes based on the radiation dose from Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection and gestational timing of exposure. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown.
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 pregnancies is 3% and 10% to 20%, respectively.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary Thallous chloride Tl 201 has been detected in the milk of lactating women. There are no data on the effects of thallous chloride Tl 201 on milk production or the effects of thallous chloride Tl 201 on the breastfed infant. Exposure of the breastfed infant to thallous chloride Tl 201 can be minimized by advising a lactating woman to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding and pump and discard milk for a minimum of 96 hours after administration of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection.
Minimize close contact with infants if the administered dose would result in an effective dose greater than 1 mSv to the infant. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection or from the underlying maternal condition.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection in pediatric patients have not been established.
8.5Geriatric Use Clinical studies of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection for myocardial perfusion imaging did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged younger than 65 years to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported experience has not revealed clinically relevant differences in the response of elderly in comparison to younger patients. This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.
Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Thallous chloride Tl 201 with no carrier added accumulates in viable myocardium in a manner analogous to that of potassium. Experiments in healthy subjects using labeled microspheres have shown that the myocardial distribution of thallous chloride Tl 201 correlates with regional perfusion. In clinical studies, Thallous Chloride Tl 201 images have been found to visualize areas of infarction as “cold” or nonlabeled regions that were confirmed by electrocardiographic and enzyme changes.
Regions of transient myocardial ischemia corresponding to areas perfused by coronary arteries with partial stenoses have been visualized when Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection was administered in conjunction with an exercise stress test. Anatomic configurations may interfere with visualization of the right coronary artery territory.
12.2Pharmacodynamics The pharmacodynamics of thallous chloride Tl 201 have not been established.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Distribution After intravenous administration, thallous chloride Tl 201 clears from the blood with maximal concentration in normal myocardium occurring at about 10 minutes. It will, in addition, localize in parathyroid adenomas; it is not specific since it will localize to a lesser extent in sites of parathyroid hyperplasia and other abnormal tissues such as thyroid adenoma, neoplasia (e.g., parathyroid carcinoma), and sarcoid. Biodistribution is generally proportional to organ blood flow at the time of injection.
Blood clearance of thallous chloride Tl 201 is primarily by the myocardium, thyroid, liver, kidneys, and stomach with the remainder distributing fairly uniformly throughout the body. The dosimetry data in Table 1 reflect this distribution pattern and are based on a biological half-life of 2.4 days. Elimination Five minutes after intravenous administration only 5% to 8% of injected activity remained in the blood.
A biexponential disappearance curve was obtained, with 91.5 % of the blood radioactivity disappearing with a half-time of about 5 minutes. The remainder had a half-time of about 40 hours. Excretion Approximately 4% to 8% of the injected dose was excreted in the urine in the first 24 hours.
The whole body disappearance half-time was 9.8 ± 2.5 days. Kidney concentration was found to be about 3% of the injected activity and the testicular content was 0.15%. Net thyroid activity was determined to be only 0.2% of the injected dose, and the activity disappeared in 24 hours.
From anterior and posterior whole-body scans, it was determined that about 45% of the injected dose was in the large intestines and contiguous structures (liver, kidneys, abdominal musculature).

📋 Description ▾
11 DESCRIPTION
11.1Drug Characteristics Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Injection is a sterile, radioactive diagnostic drug for intravenous use. Each mL contains 37 MBq (1 mCi) thallous chloride Tl 201 at calibration time and the following inactive ingredients: 9 mg sodium chloride and 0.9% (v/v) benzyl alcohol. The pH is adjusted to between 4.5 to 7.0 with hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide.
Thallium-201 is cyclotron produced. At the time of calibration it contains no more than 1% thallium-200, no more than 1% thallium-202, no more than 0.25% lead-203, and no less than 98% thallium-201 as a percentage of total activity. No carrier has been added.
The concentration of each radionuclidic contaminant changes with time. Figure 1 shows maximum concentration of thallium-200 (Tl 200) and thallium-202 (Tl 202) radionuclidic contaminants as a function of time. Figure 1.
Radionuclidic Contaminants figure 1
11.2Nuclear Physical Characteristics Thallium-201, with a physical half-life of 72.9 hours, decays by electron capture to mercury-201. Photons that are useful for detection and imaging are listed in Table 2. The lower energy x-rays obtained from the mercury-201 daughter of thallium-201 are recommended for myocardial imaging, because the mean percent disintegration at 68.9 to 80.3 keV is much greater than the combination of gamma-4 and gamma-6 mean percent disintegration.
Table 2. Principal Radiation Emission Data Radiation Mean Percent/ Disintegration Energy (keV) Gamma-4 2.7 135.3 Gamma-6 10.0 167.4 Mercury x-rays 94.4 68.9-80.3 The specific gamma ray constant for thallium-201 is
0.45R/mCi-hr at 1 cm. The first half-value thickness of lead (Pb) is 0.026 cm. 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 3.
For example, the use of 0.194 cm of lead will decrease the external radiation exposure by a factor of about 1,000. Table 3.

A biexponential disappearance curve was obtained, with 91.5 % of the blood radioactivity disappearing with a half-time of about 5 minutes. The remainder had a half-time of about 40 hours. Excretion Approximately 4% to 8% of the injected dose was excreted in the urine in the first 24 hours.
The whole body disappearance half-time was 9.8 ± 2.5 days. Kidney concentration was found to be about 3% of the injected activity and the testicular content was 0.15%. Net thyroid activity was determined to be only 0.2% of the injected dose, and the activity disappeared in 24 hours.
From anterior and posterior whole-body scans, it was determined that about 45% of the injected dose was in the large intestines and contiguous structures (liver, kidneys, abdominal musculature).
