Indocyanine Green is used in the treatment of Diagnostic agent.
How Indocyanine Green works
After Indocyanine Green is injected, it travels through the blood to find proteins in plasma (a yellowish fluid in the blood) and sticks to them. The areas that your doctor is trying to view have these plasma proteins. Special lenses and cameras help see ICG, which looks green in a certain light.
Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue, and throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, or chest pain after you receive this medicine.
Ensure the doctor or dentist who treats you knows you are receiving Indocyanine Green as it may affect the results of certain medical tests.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor.
