Omnipaque is a contrast agent primarily used for medical imaging procedures, typically administered via injection or infusion. It is not intended for oral use, as its formulation is designed for intravenous or intrathecal delivery to enhance imaging quality. Taking Omnipaque orally could lead to ineffective imaging results and potential adverse effects. Always follow medical guidelines and consult a healthcare professional regarding any medication use.
Why omnipaque is not used as oral contrast agent in Ct scan and urografin is used as oral contrast agent?
It shoould be the other way round. Urografin is not licensed for oral use and should not be used as an oral contrast agent. Omnipaque is licenced for oral used and should be used as an oral contrast agent. Check the manufacturer's product data sheets to confirm.
