DESCRIPTION
Sodium Iodide I 123 (Na123I) for diagnostic use is supplied in capsules for oral administration. The capsules are available in strengths of 3.7 and 7.4 megabecquerels (MBq) (100 and 200 μCi) I 123 at time of calibration. Each capsule contains 0.3 µg - 3 µg Sodium Thiosulfate as a stabilizer.
The radionuclidic composition at calibration is not less than 97.0 percent I 123, not more than 2.9 percent I 125 and not more than 0.1 percent all others (I 121 or Te 121.) The radionuclidic composition at expiration time is not less than 87.2 percent I 123, not more than 12.4 percent I 125 and not more than 0.4 percent all others. The ratio of the concentration of I 123 and I 125 changes with time. Graph 1 shows the maximum concentration of each as a function of time.
Physical Characteristics
Sodium Iodide I 123 decays by electron capture with a physical half-life of 13.2 hours. The photon that is useful for detection and imaging studies is listed in Table 1.

External Radiation
The specific gamma ray constant for I 123 is 1.6 R/hr-mCi at 1 cm. The first half value thickness of lead (Pb) for I 123 is 0.005 cm. A range of values for the relative attenuation of the radiation emitted by this radionuclide that results from the interposition of various thicknesses of Pb is shown in Table 2. For example, the use of 1.63 cm of lead will decrease the external radiation exposure by a factor of about 1,000.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Sodium Iodide I 123 is readily absorbed from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Following absorption, the iodide is distributed primarily within the extracellular fluid of the body. It is trapped and organically bound by the thyroid and concentrated by the stomach, choroid plexus and salivary glands. It is excreted by the kidneys.
The fraction of the administered dose which is accumulated in the thyroid gland may be a measure of thyroid function in the absence of unusually high or low iodine intake or administration of certain drugs which influence iodine accumulation by the thyroid gland. Accordingly, the patient should be questioned carefully regarding previous medication and/or procedures involving radiographic media. Normal subjects can accumulate approximately 10-50% of the administered iodine dose in the thyroid gland, however, the normal and abnormal ranges are established by individual physician's criteria. The mapping (imaging) of Sodium Iodide I 123 distribution in the thyroid gland may provide useful information concerning thyroid anatomy and definition of normal and/or abnormal functioning of tissue within the gland.

PRECAUTIONS
General
The contents of the capsule are radioactive. Adequate shielding of the preparation must be maintained at all times.
Do not use after the expiration time and date (30 hours after calibration time) stated on the label.
The prescribed Sodium Iodide I 123 dose should be administered as soon as practical from the time of receipt of product (i.e., as close to calibration time as possible) in order to minimize the fraction of radiation exposure due to relative increase of radionuclidic contaminants with time.
Sodium Iodide I 123, as well as other radioactive drugs, must be handled with care and appropriate safety measures should be used to minimize radiation exposure to clinical personnel. Care should also be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the patient consistent with proper patient management.
Radiopharmaceuticals should be used only by physicians who are qualified by training and experience in the safe use and handling of radionuclides and whose experience and training have been approved by the appropriate government agency authorized to license the use of radionuclides.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential, mutagenic potential, or whether Sodium Iodide I 123 affects fertility in males or females.
Pregnancy
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this drug. It is also not known whether Sodium Iodide I 123 can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Sodium Iodide I 123 should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Ideally examinations using radiopharmaceuticals, especially those elective in nature, in women of childbearing capability should be performed during the first few (approximately ten) days following the onset of menses.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended oral dose for the average patient (70 kg) is 3.7 to 14.8 MBq (100-400 µCi). The lower part of the dosage range 3.7 MBq (100 µCi) is recommended for uptake studies alone, and the higher part 14.8 MBq (400 µCi) for thyroid imaging. The determination of I 123 concentration in the thyroid gland may be initiated at six hours after administering the dose and should be measured in accordance with standardized procedures.
The patient dose should be measured by a suitable radioactive calibration system immediately prior to administration. The capsules can be utilized up to thirty (30) hours after calibration time and date. Thereafter, discard the capsules in accordance with standard safety procedures. The user should wear waterproof gloves at all times when handling the capsules or container.
Radiation Dosimetry
The estimated absorbed radiation doses to several organs of an average patient (70 kg) from oral administration of the maximum dose of 14.8 MBq (400 µCi) of I 123 are shown in Table 4 for thyroid uptakes of 5, 15, and 25%. For comparison at these three values of thyroid uptake, the estimated radiation doses from doses of 3.7 MBq (100 µCi) I 131, also used as thyroid imaging agent, are also included.
Table 4 Radiation Dose Estimates as a Function of Maximum Thyroid Uptake for I 123* Sodium Iodide At Time of Calibration and Expiry Compared to I 131 *Concentration at Time of Calibration: 97% I 123, 2.9% I 125, 0.1% Te 121
