CIS-PYRO
CIS-PYRO Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Stannous chloride is used as a source of tin in radiopharmaceutical kits. Tin reduces technetium-99m, the active radiological agent, allowing it to form a complex with phosphate-containing moeities . These complexes localize primarily in bone (40-50%) and infracted myocardium (0.01-0.02%/g of tissue) allowing for imaging of areas of altered osteogenesis or necrotic heart tissue .
Stannous chloride itself is not known to produce a pharmacological effect at the dosages used clinically.

Uses
Stannous chloride is a component of technetium-99m agents indicated for imaging of the skeleton for areas of altered osteogenesis or in the detection of infarcted heart tissue .
CIS-PYRO is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Altered osteogenesis
How CIS-PYRO works
Stannous chloride acts as a reducing agent for technetium-99m allowing formation of a Tc99m-Sn-pyrophosphate complex in combination sodium pyrophosphate . See Technetium Tc-99m pyrophosphate for information on the active agent.
