DIATRIZOIC ACID
About
DIATRIZOIC ACID belongs to the class of diagnostic agents. It is used to refine diagnostic precision in various body areas that may have been satisfactorily visualized.
DIATRIZOIC ACID contains Diatrizoic Acid, an iodine-containing X-ray contrast agent. Contrast agents are used to create a clear picture of the different parts of the body during specific medical procedures, such as X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and CT scan examinations.
Experienced clinicians or trained individuals will administer it. Injection site reactions, nausea, vomiting, fever, sweating, headache, and feeling of warmth, as undesirable consequences, may occur during your procedure, just like other medicines, since your healthcare professional will immediately address any issues that emerge during your procedure.
Before taking DIATRIZOIC ACID, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and medications you are using. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
