About IOBITRIDOL
IOBITRIDOL belongs to the class of diagnostic agents. It is used to refine diagnostic precision in various body areas that may have been satisfactorily visualized.
IOBITRIDOL contains Iobitridol, an iodine-containing X-ray contrast agent. It helps to enhance the contrast of the images obtained during radiological examinations such as X-ray and CT scan examinations. This contrast enhancement improves the visualisation and outline of certain body parts.
Experienced clinicians or trained individuals will administer it. Injection site reactions, nausea, vomiting, fever, sweating, headache, and feeling of warmth like undesirable consequences may occur during your procedure, just like other medicines, since your health care professional will immediately address any issues that emerge during your course. If any side effects are observed after the procedure, and if they are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
IOBITRIDOL should not be used if you have an excess of thyroid hormones (hormones that alter your energy level) or if you are pregnant or suspect you are pregnant and are scheduled for hysterosalpingography (an examination of the uterus and fallopian tubes). So, before taking IOBITRIDOL, inform your doctor about all of your medical issues, sensitivities, and drugs you are taking. If you are a nursing mother, inform your doctor before taking IOBITRIDOL; your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding for a period of time. Because IOBITRIDOL may pass into your breast milk.
