LIKELY SAFE ...when indium (In-111) pentetreotide (OctreoScan) is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional as a diagnostic aid for localizing neuroendocrine tumors. Indium (In-111) pentetreotide is an FDA-approved prescription product (102824).
POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when indium is used orally. Indium compounds are thought to be toxic to many organ systems (15117,15121).
LIKELY UNSAFE ...when indium is inhaled. Indium accumulates in the lungs and causes severe, potentially fatal interstitial lung disease (111188,111189).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally.
The effect of indium on the fetus or breast-feeding newborn is not known; however, indium compounds are thought to be toxic to many organ systems (15117,15121); avoid using. ...when indium (In-111) pentetreotide is used intravenously. It is not known if it can harm the fetus, or if it is excreted in breast milk (102824).

General ...Orally, indium is considered to be toxic to numerous organ systems including the kidneys, liver, heart, and reproductive system (15117,15121). It is possibly carcinogenic (111187). Different salt forms or compounds of indium can have different toxicological profiles.
Dermatologic ...Topically, indium can cause skin irritation (15121).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Occupational exposure to indium by inhalation can lead to potentially fatal interstitial lung disease, characterized by pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, progressing to fibrosis with or without emphysema. The disease develops slowly with shortness of breath, chest tightness and pain, dry cough, dyspnea, and deteriorating pulmonary function tests. Abnormalities seen with high-resolution computed tomography include subpleural honeycomb, diffuse centrilobular emphysema, and diffuse reticulonodular infiltration. Serum indium levels are elevated, and severity is linked to the level and duration of exposure. Once exposure stops, accumulated indium clears extremely slowly from the lungs and the disease may not be reversible (111188,111189).
