About this active substance

Iohexol is a contrast agent used in medical imaging, including computed tomography (CT) and angiography. It helps visualize internal structures by enhancing the contrast between different tissues.

The medication is administered intravenously or intrathecally, as directed by a doctor. It is important to monitor the patient for adverse reactions during the procedure.

Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, a sensation of warmth, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, severe reactions such as anaphylactic shock or renal failure may occur.

Iohexol is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast agents or severe renal impairment.
