Actions and SpectrumÂ
iothalamic acid is a radiocontrast agent, which means it contains a substance that absorbs X-rays and enhances the visibility of certain body structures during imaging procedures. Â
It works by increasing the contrast between different tissues and fluids in the body, making it easier for radiologists and medical professionals to identify and analyse specific areas of interest.

Caution:Â
Pregnancy consideration:Â
Pregnancy category: N/AÂ
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown Â
Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
<b>Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.Â
Pharmacology Â
iothalamic acid’s mechanism of action is based on its high atomic number due to the iodine content. Â
iothalamic acid absorbs X-rays more effectively than surrounding tissues, creating a contrast between the structures filled with the contrast agent and the surrounding tissues. Â
PharmacodynamicsÂ
The primary pharmacodynamic effect of iothalamic acid is its ability to absorb X-rays and increase the contrast between different tissues in the body. Â
This effect is due to the high atomic number of iodine, which allows iothalamic acid to attenuate X-rays more effectively than surrounding tissues. Â
PharmacokineticsÂ
Absorption  Â
iothalamic acid is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream. Â
DistributionÂ
iothalamic acid is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream. Â
MetabolismÂ
iothalamic acid undergoes minimal metabolism in the body. Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
iothalamic acid is primarily excreted by the kidneys.Â
AdministrationÂ
iothalamic acid is administered rectally or intravenously.

Generic Name: iothalamic acidÂ
Why do we use iothalamic acid?Â
iothalamic acid can also be used in joint imaging procedures, such as arthrography. Â
iothalamic acid is indicated for evaluation of glomerular filtration and in the diagnosis of people with kidney disease.Â
