What is Magnevist

Gadopentetic acidThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryGadolinium DTPA is a chemical compound used to improve the quality of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans of the brain and spine. This compound is made up of gadolinium and a chelating agent called diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA). It helps doctors get a better image of the patient’s brain and spine during an MRI scan.

Effectiveness

How Magnevist works in the bodyGadopentetate dimeglumine works by shortening the time it takes for protons to relax in a magnetic field. This allows for better imaging of normal tissues, like the pituitary gland and meninges, that lack a blood-brain barrier. It also helps to detect lesions like neoplasms, abscesses, and subacute infarcts, which have an abnormal vascularity or disrupted blood-brain barrier. Outside of the central nervous system, gadopentetate dimeglumine quickly spreads throughout the interstitial compartment, allowing for better imaging in all tissues. In addition, this compound

What is Magnevist used for?

"Magnevist Injection is a medication that is used with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to visualize lesions with abnormal vascularity in the brain, spine and associated tissues in adults and children who are at least two years old."

Answered by AI

Is Magnevist discontinued?

"As of 1 February 2018, Omniscan and intravenous Magnevist are now no longer authorized for use and a product recall of any existing unexpired stock is underway. This means that anyone who currently has Omniscan or Magnevist that has not expired must return it to the company."

Answered by AI

What is Magnevist injection?

"Magnevist is a contrast agent that is injected intravenously and is used to improve the quality of MRI images of the brain and spine. It can help to detect abnormalities of the blood vessels or problems with the barrier between the blood and the brain."
