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]
Many of the side effects are due to the hyperosmolar solution being injected. i.e. they deliver more iodine atoms per molecule. The more iodine, the more "dense" the X-ray effect. [citation needed] Organic iodine molecules used for contrast include iohexol, iodixanol, and ioversol. Iodine-based contrast media used nowadays are water-soluble.
Iodinated contrast contains iodine.It is the main type of radiocontrast used for intravenous administration.Iodine has a particular advantage as a contrast agent for radiography because its innermost electron ("k-shell") binding energy is 33.2 keV, similar to the average energy of x-rays used in diagnostic radiography.
Iobitridol is generally well tolerated. [5] The only side effect observed in more than 1% of patients is nausea.Rare side effects (in fewer than 1 per 10.000 people) include anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions), circulatory collapse, kidney failure, thyroid-related effects, and skin reactions such as Stevens–Johnson syndrome.
She consequently opened up about the injectable prescription medicine’s dangerous side effects and dissuaded people from taking Ozempic on her podcast, Bored Panda previously reported.
