Pharmacology
- Indication
Isosulfan Blue is a synthetic visual lymphatic imaging agent. Isosulfan blue upon subcutaneous administration, delineates the lymphatic vessels draining the region of injection. It is an adjunct to lymphography in: primary and secondary lymphedema of the extremities; chyluria, chylous ascites or chylothorax; lymph node involvement by primary or secondary neoplasm; lymph node response to therapeutic modalities.

- Pharmacodynamics
Following subcutaneous administration, Lymphazurin 1% binds to serum proteins and is picked up by the lymphatic vessels. Thus, the lymphatic vessels are delineated by the blue dye.
- Mechanism of action
Isosulfan Blue is injected into the periphery of the tumor site, it localizes to the lymphatic system and aids in the surgical identification of tumor sentinel nodes which stain blue.
- Absorption
Intradermal and parenchymal injections of vital blue dyes, such as isosulfan blue, can lead to systemic absorption through lymphatic channels and vascular beds near tumor sites.

- Route of elimination
Excreted unchanged in the urine
- Half-life
Slow release of the dye from the subcutaneous tissue or the lymphatic tissue and the half-life of the dye in the body of several hours.
- Clearance
Up to 10% of the subcutaneously administered dose of isosulfan blue 1% is excreted in 24 hours in human.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Abacavir may decrease the excretion rate of Isosulfan blue which could result in a higher serum level. Aceclofenac Aceclofenac may decrease the excretion rate of Isosulfan blue which could result in a higher serum level. Acemetacin Acemetacin may decrease the excretion rate of Isosulfan blue which could result in a higher serum level. Acetaminophen Acetaminophen may decrease the excretion rate of Isosulfan blue which could result in a higher serum level. Acetazolamide Acetazolamide may increase the excretion rate of Isosulfan blue which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. - Food Interactions
