Description
Iopamidol is known as a contrast agent. It is injected into the body before an X-ray test or CT scan to enhance the visibility of internal body structures like blood vessels and non-bony structures. Some side effects of this agent include injection site reactions (pain, swelling and redness), nausea and hot flashes. This medicine is given under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Iopamidol is a radiopaque contrast agent. It contains iodine, a substance that absorbs x-rays and makes blood vessels and other non-bony tissues appear more clearly during an X-ray or CT scan.
