What is Thallous Chloride Tl 201
Thallous chlorideThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryThallous chloride (also known as thallium(I) chloride) is a colorless powder used to isolate thallium from its ores. This powder is made by mixing thallium(I) sulfate with hydrochloric acid. It is used as a diagnostic radiopharmaceutical to diagnose heart and parathyroid problems. Side effects may include blurred vision, chest pain, chills, confusion, coughing, difficulty breathing or swallowing, and dizziness.

How Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Affects PatientsNo information available.
How Thallous Chloride Tl 201 works in the bodyThallous Chloride TI201 is a substance that collects in the heart like potassium does. When this substance is used during imaging tests, it can show areas of damage or blockage in the heart. It can also show areas where not enough blood is flowing to the heart. Sometimes, the right coronary artery may be hard to spot due to its shape.
When to interrupt dosage
The proposed dosage of Thallous Chloride Tl 201 is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, such as Single photon emission computerised tomography, Ischemic Heart Disease and Planar Scintigraphy. The quantity of dosage is dependent on the approach of delivery (e.g. Injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution or Injection, solution - Intravenous) stated in the following table.Condition

Description
Thallous Chloride Tl 201 Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lethal dose of thallium for a mouse is 24mg per kilogram, and for a human is 8mg per kilogram. Unknown biochemical damage is caused by thallium, but it is known to lead to paralysis and cardiovascular problems. Death typically occurs due to respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.

What are the dangers of thallium-201?
"Other reported events from taking this medication include itching, nausea/vomiting, mild diarrhea, tremor, shortness of breath, chills, fever, conjunctivitis, sweating, and blurred vision."
Answered by AI
Where does thallium-201 come from?
"Thallium-201 is a radiopharmaceutical used for scintigraphy, primarily of the myocardium. Thallium is treated by the body as an analog of potassium. It is produced in a cyclotron by bombarding thallium-203 with protons."
Answered by AI
Why is thallium-201 used?
"A thallium-201 scan is a radiopharmaceutical agent used to diagnose coronary artery disease and parathyroid hyperactivity. Other potential uses for a thallium-201 scan, such as tumor diagnosis and olfacto-scintigraphy, are being researched and have shown promising results in various studies."
