Iodixanol

Uses

Iodixanol is used as a diagnostic agent.

How it Works

How Iodixanol works Iodixanol is an iodine-based contrast medium used before radiological examinations, such as X-rays, to create contrast in the body. When injected, it temporarily highlights specific areas by absorbing X-rays, making the targeted structures or blood flow visible during imaging. This assists doctors in more easily identifying any issues or irregularities in the body.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Iodixanol include general discomfort, a warm sensation at the injection site, and pain at the injection site.

Expert Advice

  • Patients should be well-hydrated before and after the administration of Iodixanol.
  • Inform your doctor if you have a history of:
    • Allergies
    • Thyroid problems
    • Clotting or bleeding issues
    • Kidney problems
    • Bronchial asthma
  • It is essential to inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking.
  • After the radio-diagnostic procedure using Iodixanol, your doctor may request that you remain for observation.
