Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with technetium Tc 99m mertiatide. It is also not known whether this drug can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Technetium Tc 99m mertiatide should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Lactation
Nursing Mothers Technetium Tc 99m is excreted in human milk during lactation, therefore, formula feedings should be substituted for breast feeding.
For breastfeeding, also see LactMed (National Library of Medicine), which summarizes milk levels and infant effects.

Price ladder
Not the price at the counterThese are not what a patient pays at the pharmacy counter. They are what pharmacies, health plans, and government buyers pay, before manufacturer rebates. A patient's cost depends on their insurance (copay, coinsurance, or deductible) or the pharmacy's cash price.
