How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Visipaque). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Intravascular injection of iodixanol opacifies vessels in the path of flow of the contrast agent, permitting visualization of internal structures.

In imaging of the body, iodinated contrast agents diffuse from the vascular into the extravascular space.

Half-life2.1 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 10.5 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How it leaves the body

In adults, approximately 97% of the injected dose of iodixanol is excreted unchanged in urine within 24 hours, with less than 2% excreted in feces within five days post-injection.
