1Product Indications and Important Safety Information – VIZAMYL™ (flutemetamol F 18 injection) is indicated for positron-emission tomography (PET) of the brain to estimate amyloid beta neuritic plaque density in adults with cognitive impairment for:
- Evaluation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other causes of cognitive decline
- Selection of patients who are indicated for amyloid beta-directed therapy as described in the prescribing of information of the therapeutic products.
A negative scan indicates sparse to no neuritic plaques. In patients being evaluated for AD and other causes of cognitive decline who have not been treated with amyloid beta-directed therapy, a negative scan is inconsistent with a neuropathological diagnosis of AD at the time of image acquisition and reduces the likelihood that a patient’s cognitive impairment is due to AD. A negative scan result does not preclude the accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain in the future.
A positive scan establishes the presence of moderate to frequent neuritic plaques. Neuropathological examination has shown that moderate to frequent amyloid beta neuritic plaques are present in patients with AD, but may also be present in patients with other types of neurologic conditions as well as older people with normal cognition.

2FLYRCADO™ (flurpiridaz F 18) injection, for intravenous use important safety information IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Indications and Usage FLYRCADO is a radioactive diagnostic drug indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) under rest or stress (pharmacologic or exercise) in adult patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) to evaluate for myocardial ischemia and infarction. Full prescribing information can be found here: flyrcado-pi.pdf.
