Iopromide is an iodinated contrast medium for X-ray imaging. It is marketed under the name Ultravist which is produced by Bayer Healthcare. It is a low osmolar, non-ionic contrast agent for intravascular use; i.e., it is injected into blood vessels. [2]

Contents

It is commonly used in radiographic studies such as intravenous urograms, brain computer tomography (CT) [2] and CT pulmonary angiograms (CTPAs).

Medical uses

The radiocontrast agent is given intravenously in computed tomography (CT) scans, angiography and excretory urography. [3]

Contraindications

Iopromide use is contraindicated in myelography, cerebral ventriculography and cisternography procedures. It is also contraindicated in those with hyperthyroidism, or with known allergy to the drug. [4]

Iopromide is also contraindicated in children with prolonged fasting, fluid restriction, on laxative, or dehydration as it can cause renal failure. [4]
