Used for intravenous cholangiography to visualize bile ducts and for urography to examine the urinary tract. May also be used in other radiographic procedures where enhanced imaging is needed.
As an iodinated contrast medium, it contains iodine atoms that absorb X-rays, creating contrast between the agent-filled structures and surrounding tissues on radiographic images. It is water-soluble and typically excreted through the biliary or urinary system.
Use with caution in patients with thyroid disorders, kidney impairment, or allergies to iodine. Adequate hydration before and after administration is recommended. Contrast agents may cause adverse reactions including nausea, flushing, or in rare cases, severe allergic reactions. Medical supervision during administration is required.
