Iohexol, sold under the trade name Omnipaque among others, is a contrast agent used for X-ray imaging. [4] This includes when visualizing arteries, veins, ventricles of the brain, the urinary system, and joints, as well as during computed tomography (CT scan). [4] It is given by mouth, injection into a vein, or into a body cavity. [5]

Contents

Side effects include vomiting, skin flushing, headache, itchiness, kidney problems, and low blood pressure. [4] Less commonly allergic reactions or seizures may occur. [4] Allergies to povidone-iodine or shellfish do not affect the risk of side effects more than other allergies. [6] Use in the later part of pregnancy may cause hypothyroidism in the baby. [7] Iohexol is an iodinated non-ionic radiocontrast agent. [4] It is in the low osmolar family. [8]

Iohexol was approved for medical use in 1985. [9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [10] [5]

Chemistry

The osmolality of iohexol ranges from 322 mOsm/kg—approximately 1.1 times that of blood plasma—to 844 mOsm/kg, almost three times that of blood. [11] Despite this difference, iohexol is still considered a low-osmolality contrast agent; the osmolality of older agents, such as diatrizoate, may be more than twice as high. [12]

Adverse effects

The most common side effects after intravenous injections are: pain at the site of injection (3%), blurring of vision (2%), nausea (2%), arrhythmia (2%), taste perversion (1%), hypotension (0.7%), and vomiting (0.7%). [13]

Society and culture

Naming

It is sold under the brand names Omnipaque. [14] It is also sold as a density gradient medium under the names Accudenz, Histodenz, and Nycodenz. [15] [16]

Available forms

It is available in various concentrations, from 140 [13] to 350 [17] milligrams of iodine per milliliter. [13] Iohexol can given as intrathecal, intravascular, oral, rectal, intraarticular, or into the body cavity. [13]
