Iopamidol injectable solutions, a non-ionic low-osmolar contrast medium for CT, angiography and urography. For importers, distributors, hospital radiology departments and imaging tender buyers needing several concentrations.

Product Description:

Iopamidol is a non-ionic, low-osmolar iodinated contrast medium. Its iodine atoms absorb X-rays, so vessels, organs and cavities filled with the solution stand out on CT scans and angiograms. Being non-ionic and low in osmolality, it is better tolerated than older ionic agents. This page lists ready-to-use sterile solutions at the concentrations shown. They are also labelled by iodine content: a 61% solution carries about 300 mg iodine per mL and a 76% solution about 370 mg. Higher concentrations give denser images.

Iopamidol is used for contrast-enhanced CT, angiography, venography and urography, given by hand or power injector. Some products are licensed for intrathecal myelography, but only solutions labelled for that route may be used in the spine. Warming the solution to body temperature lowers its viscosity. Staff check for previous contrast reactions and kidney function, and keep patients hydrated. Hypersensitivity, contrast-associated kidney injury and thyroid effects in neonates are the main concerns. Metformin may be paused under local guidelines.

Sourcing notes. Iopamidol is a hospital-only prescription medicine. Ask for a CTD or ACTD dossier and stability data for the destination's climatic zone. Solutions come in glass or polymer bottles and in pharmacy bulk packs for imaging suites. They are kept at room temperature, protected from light and from freezing; no cold chain is needed. Each batch CoA should report assay, free iodide, sterility and bacterial endotoxins. Request the GMP certificate and a CoPP as well. Specify concentration, fill volume, single-dose or bulk pack, any intrathecal labelling and annual quantity.
