  • 3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

    Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is a sterile, lyophilized green powder containing 25 mg of indocyanine green with no more than 5% sodium iodide.

  • 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

    Indocyanine Green for Injection USP contains sodium iodide and should be used with caution in patients who have a history of allergy to iodides because of the risk of anaphylaxis.

  • 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    5.1 Anaphylaxis

    Deaths from anaphylaxis have been reported following Indocyanine Green for Injection USP administration during cardiac catheterization.

    5.2 Drug Instability

    Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is unstable in aqueous solution and must be used within 6 hours. However, the dye is stable in plasma and whole blood so that samples obtained in discontinuous sampling techniques may be read hours later. Sterile techniques should be used in handling the dye solution as well as in the performance of the dilution curves. If a precipitate is present, discard the solution.

    5.3 Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions

    Radioactive iodine uptake studies should not be performed for at least a week following the use of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP.

  • 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

    Anaphylactic or urticarial reactions have been reported in patients with or without history of allergy to iodides. If such reactions occur, treat with the appropriate agents, e.g., epinephrine, antihistamines, and corticosteroids.

  • 7 DRUG INTERACTIONS

    Preparations containing sodium bisulfite including some heparin products reduce the absorption peak of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP in blood and, therefore, should not be used as an anticoagulant for the collection of samples for analysis.

  • 8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

    8.1 Pregnancy

    Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Indocyanine Green for Injection USP. It is also not known whether Indocyanine Green for Injection USP can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly indicated.

    8.3 Nursing Mothers

    It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is administered to a nursing woman.

    8.4 Pediatric Use

    The safety and effectiveness of indocyanine green for visual assessment of blood vessels, blood flow and related tissue perfusion, for visual assessment of the major extrahepatic bile duct and for intra-operative blood flow in the cerebral area using this IR imaging application has not been evaluated in pediatric patients.

    8.5 Geriatric Use

    No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and adult patients.

  • 10 OVERDOSAGE

    There are no data available describing the signs, symptoms, or laboratory findings accompanying overdosage. The LD50 after intravenous administration ranges between 60 and 80 mg/kg in mice, 50 and 70 mg/kg in rats and 50 and 80 mg/kg in rabbits. Based on body surface area, these doses are 2.4 to 13-fold the maximum recommended human (MRHD) dose of 2 mg/kg for indicator-dilution studies, 10 to 52-fold the MRHD of 0.5 mg/kg for hepatic-function studies, and 7 to 39-fold the MRHD of 0.67 mg/kg for ophthalmic angiography studies.

  • 11 DESCRIPTION

    Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is a sterile, lyophilized green powder containing 25 mg of indocyanine green with no more than 5% sodium iodide. It is packaged with Sterile Water for Injection, USP used to dissolve the indocyanine green. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is to be administered intravenously.

    Indocyanine green is a water soluble, tricarbocyanine dye with a peak spectral absorption at 800 nm. The chemical name for Indocyanine Green is 1 H-Benz[e]indolium, 2-[7-[1,3-dihydro-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-2H-benz[e] indol-2-ylidene]-1,3,5-heptatrienyl]-1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)-,hydroxide, inner salt, sodium salt. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP has a pH of approximately 6.5 when reconstituted. Each vial of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP contains 25 mg of indocyanine green as a sterile lyophilized powder.

    Structure
  • 12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

    Indocyanine Green for Injection USP permits recording of the indicator-dilution curves for both diagnostic and research purposes independently of fluctuations in oxygen saturation. Following intravenous injection, Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is rapidly bound to plasma protein, of which albumin is the principle carrier (95%). Indocyanine Green for Injection USP undergoes no significant extrahepatic or enterohepatic circulation; simultaneous arterial and venous blood estimations have shown negligible renal, peripheral, lung or cerebro-spinal uptake of the dye. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP is taken up from the plasma almost exclusively by the hepatic parenchymal cells and is secreted entirely into the bile. After biliary obstruction, the dye appears in the hepatic lymph, independently of the bile, suggesting that the biliary mucosa is sufficiently intact to prevent diffusion of the dye, though allowing diffusion of bilirubin. These characteristics make Indocyanine Green for Injection USP a helpful index of hepatic function.

    The peak absorption and emission of Indocyanine Green for Injection USP lie in a region (800 to 850 nm) where transmission of energy by the pigment epithelium is more efficient than in the region of visible light energy. Indocyanine Green for Injection USP also has the property of being nearly 98% bound to blood protein, and therefore, excessive dye extravasation does not take place in the highly fenestrated choroidal vasculature. It is, therefore, useful in both absorption and fluorescence infrared angiography of the choroidal vasculature when using appropriate filters and film in a fundus camera.

    The plasma fractional disappearance rate at the recommended 0.5 mg/kg dose has been reported to be significantly greater in women than in men, although there was no significant difference in the calculated value for clearance.

    No studies have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, or impairment of fertility.
