Brand: Isovist, Optiray
Iotrolan is a non-ionic, water-soluble radiocontrast agent used in various diagnostic imaging procedures. It enhances the visibility of internal structures during X-ray examinations by absorbing X-rays more effectively than surrounding tissues. It belongs to a class of contrast media known as triiodinated benzoic acid derivatives. Its non-ionic nature contributes to a lower incidence of adverse reactions compared to ionic contrast media.
Used to enhance visibility during X-ray imaging procedures.
Outcome:
Lactic acidosis
Mechanism:
Impaired renal function can reduce metformin clearance.
Outcome:
Slight increased risk of lactic acidosis
Mechanism:
Reduced renal clearance
Outcome:
May slightly reduce absorption of iotrolan
Mechanism:
Changes in gastrointestinal pH
Most likely new formulation: Improved targeted delivery systems for specific imaging applications (2025, 70% confidence)
Based on the current safety profile and established efficacy, iotrolan is expected to maintain its approved status for diagnostic imaging.
