Actions and Spectrum
iotrolan is a radiopaque contrast agent, which means it absorbs X-rays and other forms of electromagnetic radiation more effectively than the surrounding tissues.
This property allows the contrast agent to provide better visualization of the internal structures being imaged, helping radiologists and medical professionals to identify and diagnose various medical conditions.

Caution:
Pregnancy consideration:
Pregnancy category: N/A
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown
Pregnancy Categories:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
<b>Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
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.
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.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.

Why do we use iotrolan?
iotrolan is a contrast agent that is primarily used in medical imaging procedures to enhance the visibility of internal structures, blood vessels, computed tomography (CT) scans, and other radiological examinations.
iotrolan is commonly used in CT scans to improve the clarity of images. iotrolan is used in angiography procedures to visualize blood vessels, including those in the heart, brain, and limbs.
