To minimize radiation absorbed dose to the bladder, adequate hydration should be encouraged to permit frequent voiding during the first few hours after injection of NeoTect^®. This may be achieved by having patients drink at least an 8 oz. glass of water prior to drug administration. To help protect themselves and others in their environment, patients should take the following precautions for 12 hours after injection:whenever possible a toilet should be used and should be flushed several times after each use and patients should wash their hands thoroughly after each voiding or fecal elimination. If blood, urine or feces soil the clothing, the clothing should be washed separately.
