Radiopharmaceuticals
Radiopharmaceuticals are unique medicinal formulations containing radioisotopes that are utilized in major clinical areas for diagnosis and/or therapy.
The facilities and procedures for the assembly, use, and storage of radiopharmaceuticals are subject to licensing by national and/or regional authorities.
This licensing includes compliance both with regulations governing pharmaceutical preparations and with those governing radioactive materials. Additional regulations may apply for issues like transportation or dispensing of radiopharmaceuticals.
