The dosage may vary depending on the type of examination, the age, weight, cardiac output and general condition of the patient and the technique used. Usually approximately the same iodine concentration and volume is used as with other iodinated X-ray contrast media in current use, but adequate diagnostic information has also been obtained in some studies with iodixanol injection with somewhat lower iodine concentration. Adequate hydration should be assured before and after administration as for other contrast media. The product is for intravenous, intra-arterial and intrathecal use.
The following dosages may serve as a guide. The doses given for intra-arterial use are for single injections that may be repeated. (See Tables 1 and 2.)
