Monitoring Parameters
Monitor renal function, blood pressure, and hydration; signs of extravasation and hypersensitivity reactions during administration.
Overdosage
Symptoms: Fluid and electrolyte imbalance; CV and pulmonary complications; renal impairment. Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment.
Drug Interactions
May increase the risk of lactic acidosis induced by biguanides (e.g. metformin). Increased prevalence of delayed hypersensitivity reactions with interleukins.
Lab Interference
May affect thromboplastin time, thrombin activity, and the accuracy of thyroid function tests assessment.
Action
Description:
Mechanism of Action: Iopromide is a nonionic iodinated radiographic contrast medium. It allows visualisation of internal body structures by opacifying the path of its flow.
Pharmacokinetics:
Distribution: Rapidly distributed in the extracellular fluid. Volume of distribution: 16 L. Plasma protein binding: 1%.
Excretion: Via urine (97% as unchanged drug); faeces (2%). Elimination half-life: 2 hours.
