Iopamidol adverse reactions

The incidence of delayed adverse reactions has been investigated in 2001 patients who underwent cardiac angiography with either iopamidol 340 (a non-ionic monomer n = 738, ages 22-88 years, mean dose 1.79 ml/kg), ioxaglate 320 (an ionic dimer n = 644, ages 28-86 years, mean dose 1.8 ml/kg) or iodixanol 320 (a non-ionic dimer n = 619, ages 26-85 years, mean dose 1.74 ml/kg) (13). The authors considered reactions that... 

Urine iodine concentration, after the injection of nonionic metrizamide. is about twice as high as after sodium diatrizoate injection. Gol-man et al. (795) reported that during the periods of ureteric stasis, metrizamide was excreted faster than diatrizoate. Nonionic iopamidol reduces the incidence of adverse reactions in excretory urography and produces equal quality urograms with less iodine than diatrizoate (881). 

Acute reactions All adverse events occurring within 1 hour of administration of intravenous contrast media were prospectively compared in 8931 patients who were randomly assigned to one of five low-osmolar non-ionic contrast media iomeprol 300 mgl/ml, iopamidol 300mgl/ml, iohexol 300mgl/ml, iopromide 300mgl/ml, and ioversol 320mgl/ml [I "].
