Contrapaque 240mg Infusion

Contrapaque 240mg Infusion is a radiopaque contrast agent used for medical imaging procedures. It helps to improve the quality of X-ray, CT, and angiography images by enhancing the visibility of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Radiography is a medical imaging technique that uses X-rays to create images of the body's internal structures, helping diagnose conditions like fractures and infections.

Contrapaque 240mg Infusion contains Iohexol, a non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent. This medication alters how X-rays interact with the body, making tissues and blood vessels more visible on the scan. The contrast helps distinguish between various structures within the body, improves procedure accuracy, and allows for a more exact diagnosis.

In some cases, this medicine may cause side effects like diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, gas, back pain, sweating, or headache. Most of these side effects may not require medical treatment and will subside with time. However, if the adverse effects persist or worsen, see a doctor.

This makes blood vessels and internal organs more visible on radiographic images.
