Pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Technetium Tc-99m Bicisate. It is also not known whether Technetium Tc-99m Bicisate can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Therefore, Technetium Tc-99m Bicisate should not be administered to a pregnant woman unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Lactation
Nursing Mothers Technetium Tc-99m Pertechnetate can be excreted in human milk. Therefore, formula should be substituted for breast milk until the technetium has cleared from the body of the nursing woman.
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.
