Popis: Sodium fluorescein may be safely administered orally. The resulting angiograms serve to document the presence or absence of dye leakage in the same manner as venous injection. The oral route of administration is of particular benefit for use in children, patients with inaccessible veins, and patients participating in studies of late retinal vascular leakage, such as postoperative cystoid macular edema. Serum concentrations of the dye plateau between thirty minutes and one hour, at levels approximating those obtained by intravenous injection.
