What is Radiogardase?

Radiogardase is a brand-name prescription drug that provides a universally prescribed treatment for thallium or radioactive cesium poisoning.

Radioactive cesium exposure rarely occurs outside of sites near nuclear power plant meltdowns or nuclear bomb explosions. While cesium can enter the body through the lungs or skin, when radioactive cesium is ingested from contaminated water or food, the gastrointestinal system easily absorbs it. Over time, radioactive cesium in the body will damage the liver, intestines, heart, and kidneys.

Thallium is a potent poison and can easily kill in high enough amounts. Thallium can be ingested unintentionally or as the result of attempted homicide.

The body eliminates cesium and thallium through the urinary tract and the intestines. The active ingredient in Radiogardase, Prussian blue, binds to the cesium or thallium in the intestines and prevents them from being reabsorbed back into the body through the intestines, minimizing the exposure to these toxic materials.

Radiogardase is taken as soon as thallium or radioactive cesium poisoning is suspected. The dose will depend on verifying the poison in the body through urinary, stool, and blood tests and will be adjusted depending on the amount of the toxin in the body. Treatment may last 30 days or more.

What are the side effects of Radiogardase?

The active ingredient in Radiogardase, insoluble Prussian blue, is not absorbed through the intestines, so side effects are limited to the gastrointestinal system. The most common physical side effects of Radiogardase are constipation and stomach discomfort. Allergic reactions are possible, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or sore throat.
