AK-FLUOR® 10% Fluorescein Injection (5 mL, 100 mg/mL, 12/Box) is a sterile, injectable diagnostic agent trusted by ophthalmologists and retina specialists for enhanced visualization of the retinal and choroidal vasculature. This high-contrast, FDA-approved intravenous dye solution is essential for fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA)—the gold standard in diagnosing and monitoring a range of serious eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vascular occlusion.
Each box provides 12 single-use vials, 5 mL each, with a concentration of 100 mg/mL for precise and reliable diagnostics in every clinical setting.
The #1 Choice for Retinal Angiography & Eye Diagnostics
 Uses & Indications:
AK-FLUOR 10% is used in:
-
Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA): To assess retinal and choroidal circulation
-
Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy: Detects microaneurysms, neovascularization, macular edema
-
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Helps identify leakage or bleeding
-
Retinal Vein & Artery Occlusions: Visualizes blockages and vascular integrity
- Uveitis & Choroidal Disease Workup
- Preoperative and postoperative evaluation in retinal surgeries
How It Works
Fluorescein sodium (10%) is injected IV and rapidly disperses through the bloodstream, reaching the retinal vessels. Using a fundus camera with blue excitation and yellow barrier filters, ophthalmologists observe the retinal dye transit in high detail to pinpoint areas of blood-retinal barrier breakdown, leakage, ischemia, or pathology.
Side Effects & Safety Warnings
Common Side Effects:
- Temporary skin discoloration (yellow/orange tint)
- Nausea, vomiting, or dizziness after injection
- Mild allergic reactions: rash, itching, hives
Rare but Serious Side Effects:
- Severe allergic or anaphylactic reaction—tachycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm (Immediate medical attention required)
- Injection site discomfort
- Headache
Precautions:
- AK-FLUOR should only be administered under direct supervision of a healthcare professional.
- Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to fluorescein sodium.
- Emergency medications and resuscitation equipment should be available during use.
CDC and OSHA recommend the following for injectable diagnostic agents:
- Strict adherence to sterile technique with single-use, FDA-approved vials
- Patient assessment for allergy risk prior to administration
- Use of gloves, face/eye protection for all parenteral drug administration
- Immediate availability of anaphylaxis emergency protocol
- Appropriate hazardous drug disposal and sharps management post-use
- Documentation of lot numbers and patient outcomes for pharmacovigilance
AK-FLUOR complies with all CDC, FDA, and USP<797> guidelines for safe hospital and clinic administration.
