Seizures were reported in 2 out of 1350 myelography procedures among non-epileptic patients using 10.2 grams of
iopamidol for an incidence of 0.15% (24).
L is admitted for a routine stroke workup and prepares to undergo a CT angiogram (CTA) with the use of the iodinated agent
iopamidol (100 mL, 76%) to evaluate patency of cerebral vessels.
Intravenous
iopamidol (Isovue 300 injection, 300 mg/mL; Bracco Imaging Canada, Quebec, Canada) at 2 mL/kg was injected within 3 seconds, immediately before CT image acquisition, for contrast enhanced images.
Iopamidol 370 was used as radiographic contrast medium, and its volume was highly variable, as needed.
Critically to assess is that the chlorination of drinking water can convert, for example, the XCA
Iopamidol into geno- and cytotoxically effective transformation products (LAWA 2016).
During scan 80-120ml of contrast agent usually
iopamidol was injected continuously at infusion rate of 4.5 ml/s through antecubital vein for MSCT images.

Acetaminophen (ACT), acetylsulfamethoxazole (ASMX), azithromycin (AZI), caffeine (CAF), carbamazepine (CBZ), clarithromycin (CLA), enrofloxacin (ENRO), erythromycin (ERY),
iopamidol (IOPA), norfloxacin (NOR), oxytetracycline (OTC), sarafloxacin (SARA), sulfachloropyridazine (SCP), sulfadiazine (SPD), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamerazine (SMR), sulfameter (SMT), sulfamethazine (SMZ), sulfamethizole (SMI), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), tetracycline (TC), and trimethoprim (TMP) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.
report a risk of seizures in nonepileptic individuals and risk of status epilepticus in patients with epilepsy who have received
Iopamidol myelography [13].
Mice were injected with formulated particles or
iopamidol in a comparison of contrasting ability and half-life.
The contrast media was 60 mL of
iopamidol 370mgl/mL at 5cc/s.
