Effectiveness
How Omnipaque 300 Affects PatientsIohexol is a safe and effective substance that can be used to help create images of body parts during medical procedures such as myelography or nephroangiography. It has low toxicity and is made up of non-ionic and water-soluble components, making it safer than other contrast agents.
How Omnipaque 300 works in the bodyOrganic iodine compounds work like an x-ray filter. When they are present in the body, they make certain structures easier to see on an x-ray. When these compounds are injected into the spinal canal, they make the subarachnoid spaces of the head and spine visible. When injected into the veins, they make the internal structures of the body more visible until the compound is diluted.
