Anaphylactic or urticarial reactions have been reported in patients with or without history of allergy to iodides. If such reactions occur, treatment with the appropriate agents, e.g., epinephrine, antihistamines, and corticosteroids should be administered.

Heparin preparations containing sodium bisulfate reduce the absorption peak of IC-GREEN™ (tricarbocyanine) in blood and, therefore, should not be used as an anticoagulant for the collection of samples for analysis.

Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions: Radioactive iodine uptake studies should not be performed for at least a week following the use of IC-GREEN™ (tricarbocyanine) .
