Approved by the FDA in 1995 and Health Canada in 1994 under the brand name ULTRAVIST, iopromide is used in radiological diagnosis, including, but not limited to, intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IA-DSA), cerebral and peripheral arteriography, peripheral venography, excretory urography, brain computer tomography (CT), coronary arteriography, left ventriculography, visceral angiography, and orthography.[L46906][L46911]
[L46906]
For intra-arterial administration, iopromide is indicated for cerebral arteriography, peripheral arteriography, coronary arteriography, left ventriculography, visceral angiography, and aortography in adults and radiographic evaluation of cardiac chambers and related arteries in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older.
[L46906]
For intravenous administration, iopromide is indicated for excretory urography in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older, contrast Computed Tomography (CT) of the head and body (intrathoracic, intra-abdominal, and retroperitoneal regions) for the evaluation of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older, and contrast mammography to visualize known or suspected lesions of the breast in adults, as an adjunct following mammography and/or ultrasound.
[L46906]
Iopromide is also approved by Health Canada as an intravascular contrasting agent, although the indications differ depending on the dosage. At 300 mg I/mL, iopromide is indicated for computed tomography (CT), excretory urography, pediatric excretory urography, renal arteriography, peripheral arteriography (bifemoral pelvis/leg), cerebral arteriography, phlebography of the extremities, and arthrography.

[L46906]
The safety and efficacy of iopromide have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older for radiographic evaluation of cardiac chambers and related arteries, excretory urography, and contrast computed tomography of the head and body.
The use of iopromide in these age groups for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults and additional safety data in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older, including data from published studies.
[L46906]
Pediatric patients who are at higher risk of experiencing an adverse reaction during and after the administration of any contrast agent include those with asthma, sensitivity to medication and/or allergens, cyanotic and acyanotic heart disease, congestive
heart failure, or serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL.
[L46906]
Thyroid function tests indicative of thyroid dysfunction, characterized by hypothyroidism or transient thyroid suppression have been reported following iodinated contrast media administration in pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates; Some patients were treated for hypothyroidism. After exposure to iodinated contrast media, individualize thyroid function monitoring in pediatric patients 0 to 3 years of age based on underlying risk factors, especially in term and preterm neonates.
[L46906]
The clearance of iopromide decreases with increasing degree of renal impairment and results in delayed opacification of the urinary system. In addition, preexisting renal impairment increases the risk of acute kidney injury.
Iopromide can be removed by dialysis.
[L46906]
Long-term animal studies have not been performed with iopromide to evaluate carcinogenic potential or effects on fertility. Iopromide was not genotoxic in a series of studies including the Ames test, an in vitro human lymphocytes analysis of chromosomal aberrations, an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay, and an in vivo mouse dominant lethal assay.
[L46906]
The manifestations of overdosage are life-threatening and affect mainly the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems. Treatment of overdosage is directed toward the support of all vital functions, and prompt institution of symptomatic therapy.
[L46906]
The most common adverse reactions (>1%) are headache, nausea, injection site and infusion site reactions, vasodilatation, vomiting, back pain, urinary urgency, chest pain, pain, dysgeusia, and abnormal vision.
Inadvertent intrathecal administration may cause death, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, coma, paralysis, arachnoiditis, acute renal failure, cardiac arrest, seizures, rhabdomyolysis, hyperthermia, and brain edema.

This finding suggests that, compared to the renal route, biliary and/or gastrointestinal excretion is not important for iopromide. During the slower terminal phase, only 3% of the dose is eliminated; 97% of the dose is disposed of during the earlier phases, the largest part of which occurs during the main elimination phase.
[L46906]
The ratio of the renal clearance of iopromide to the creatinine clearance is 0.82, suggesting that iopromide is mainly excreted by glomerular filtration. Additional tubular reabsorption is possible.
