Urografin 1.1

Urografin is a contrast agent used in medical imaging procedures, such as X-rays and CT scans, to enhance the visibility of specific parts of the body.

Urografin is typically administered intravenously or orally, depending on the specific imaging procedure being performed.

Urografin is commonly used to visualize the urinary tract, kidneys, bladder, and other internal organs during radiographic examinations.

Urografin is generally considered safe when used as directed by healthcare professionals. However, some individuals may experience allergic reactions or side effects.

Patients with a history of allergic reactions to contrast agents, severe kidney disease, or certain medical conditions may have contraindications for using Urografin.

Urografin contains iodine, which absorbs X-rays and appears bright white on imaging scans, helping to visualize specific anatomical structures in the body.

Patients receiving Urografin may be instructed to fast for a certain period before the procedure and inform healthcare providers about any allergies or health conditions.

Common side effects of Urografin may include flushing, nausea, vomiting, or a metallic taste in the mouth. Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible.

Urografin is typically excreted from the body through the kidneys and urine within a few hours after administration, although traces may linger for a longer period.

Special precautions may be necessary when using Urografin in pediatric patients or pregnant women, and healthcare providers will carefully assess the risks and benefits in such cases.
