Iohexol, sold under the trade name Omnipaque among others, is a contrast agent used for X-ray imaging.[4] This includes when visualizing arteries, veins, ventricles of the brain, the urinary system, and joints, as well as during computed tomography (CT scan).[4] It is given by mouth, injection into a vein, or into a body cavity.[5]
Side effects include vomiting, skin flushing, headache, itchiness, kidney problems, and low blood pressure.[4] Less commonly allergic reactions or seizures may occur.[4] Allergies to povidone-iodine or shellfish do not affect the risk of side effects more than other allergies.[6] Use in the later part of pregnancy may cause hypothyroidism in the baby.[7] Iohexol is an iodinated non-ionic radiocontrast agent.[4] It is in the low osmolar family.[8]
Iohexol was approved for medical use in 1985.[9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[10][5]
