The fraction of energy emitted from radium-223 and its daughters as alpha-particles is 95.3% (energy range of 5 - 7.5 MeV). There are also beta and gamma emissions with different energies and emission probabilities. The six-stage-decay of radium-223 to stable lead-207 occurs via short-lived daughters, and is accompanied predominantly by alpha emissions.

The specific activity of radium-223 is 1.9 MBq (51.4 microcurie)/ng. The molecular weight of radium-223 dichloride, 223RaCl2, is 293.9 g/mol. The inactive ingredients are 6.3 mg/mL sodium chloride USP (tonicity agent), 7.2 mg/mL sodium citrate USP (for pH adjustment), 0.2 mg/mL hydrochloric acid USP (for pH adjustment), and water for injection USP.
