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]
No, unlike other common pain relief medications (think aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen), Tylenol isn’t an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
Contrast-induced nephropathy is defined as either a greater than 25% increase of serum creatinine or an absolute increase in serum creatinine of 0.5 mg/dL. [26] Iodinated contrast may be toxic to the kidneys , especially when given via the arteries prior to studies such as catheter coronary angiography.
The diagnosis of poisoning usually involves measurement of plasma salicylate, the active metabolite of aspirin, by automated spectrophotometric methods. Plasma salicylate levels in general range from 30 to 100 mg/L after usual therapeutic doses, 50–300 mg/L in people taking high doses and 700–1400 mg/L following
Additionally, aspirin induces the formation of NO-radicals in the body, which have been shown in mice to have an independent mechanism of reducing inflammation. This reduces leukocyte adhesion, which is an important step in immune response to infection. There is currently insufficient evidence to show that aspirin helps to fight infection. [18]
Iodixanol is also the active ingredient in a number of 'cushion' products used during the centrifugation of stallion semen. It is layered underneath the extended stallion semen allowing for a higher g force to be used with less sperm damage and better recovery rates.
Lysine acetylsalicylate, also known as aspirin DL-lysine or lysine aspirin, is a more soluble form of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). As with aspirin itself, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic and antipyretic properties. [ 1 ]
Metrizamide is a non-ionic iodine-based radiocontrast agent. [1] It is also a density gradient medium for the centrifugation of biological particles. [2]Historically metrizamide replaced iofendylate (trade names: Pantopaque, Myodil) as the contrast agent of choice for myelography (an X-ray study of the spine now largely replaced by MRI).
