( 5.8 )
5.1Risks Associated with Inadvertent Intrathecal Administration OPTIRAY is indicated for intravascular use only [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] . Inadvertent intrathecal administration can cause death, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, coma, paralysis, arachnoiditis, acute renal failure, cardiac arrest, seizures, rhabdomyolysis, hyperthermia, and brain edema.
5.2Hypersensitivity Reactions OPTIRAY can cause life-threatening or fatal hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock. Manifestations include respiratory arrest, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, angioedema, and shock. Most severe reactions develop shortly after the start of the injection (e.g. within 1 to 3 minutes), but delayed reactions may occur.
There is an increased risk in patients with a history of a previous reaction to contrast agent, and known allergies (i.e., bronchial asthma, drug, or food allergies), and other hypersensitivities. Premedication with antihistamines or corticosteroids to avoid or minimize possible allergic reactions does not prevent serious life-threatening reactions, but may reduce both their incidence and severity. Obtain a history of allergy, hypersensitivity, or prior hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast agents.
Always have emergency resuscitation equipment and trained personnel available and monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions.
5.3Contrast Induced Acute Kidney Injury Acute kidney injury, including renal failure, may occur after OPTIRAY administration. Risk factors include: pre-existing renal impairment, dehydration, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, advanced vascular disease, elderly age, concomitant use of nephrotoxic or diuretic medications, multiple myeloma / paraproteinaceous diseases, repetitive and/or large doses of an iodinated contrast agent. Use the lowest necessary dose of OPTIRAY in patients with renal impairment.
Adequately hydrate patients prior to and following OPTIRAY administration. Do not use laxatives, diuretics, or preparatory dehydration prior to OPTIRAY administration.
5.4Cardiovascular Adverse Reactions OPTIRAY increases the circulatory osmotic load and may induce acute or delayed hemodynamic disturbances in patients with congestive heart failure, severely impaired renal function, combined renal and hepatic disease, combined renal and cardiac disease, particularly when repetitive or large doses are administered. Life-threatening or fatal cardiovascular reactions have occurred with the use of OPTIRAY, including cardiac arrest, hypotensive collapse, and shock. Most deaths occur within 10 minutes of injection; with cardiovascular disease as the main underlying factor.
Cardiac decompensation, serious arrhythmias, and myocardial ischemia or infarction can occur during coronary arteriography and ventriculography. Based upon literature reports, deaths from the administration of iodinated contrast agents range from 6.6 per 1 million (0.00066 percent) to 1 in 10,000 patients (0.01 percent). Use the lowest necessary dose of OPTIRAY in patients with congestive heart failure and always have emergency resuscitation equipment and trained personnel available.
Monitor all patients for severe cardiovascular reactions.

Adverse reactions reported were similar in quality and frequency to the adverse events reported by adults.
6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse drug reactions have been reported during post-approval use of OPTIRAY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate frequency or establish a casual relationship to drug exposure. Cardiac disorders: coronary artery spasm, cyanosis, arrhythmia (ventricular fibrillation, tachycardia, extrasystole), ECG abnormal.

🔄 Drug Interactions ▾
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1Drug-Drug Interactions Metformin In patients with renal impairment, metformin can cause lactic acidosis. Iodinated contrast agents appear to increase the risk of metformin induced lactic acidosis, possibly as a result of worsening renal function. Stop metformin at the time of, or prior to, OPTIRAY administration in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; in patients with a history of hepatic impairment, alcoholism or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra-arterial iodinated contrast agents.
Re-evaluate eGFR 48 hours after the imaging procedure, and reinstitute only after renal function is stable. Radioactive Iodine Administration of iodinated contrast agents may interfere with thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine (I 131) and decrease therapeutic efficacy in patients with carcinoma of the thyroid. The decrease in efficacy lasts for 6-8 weeks.
Oral Cholecystographic Contrast Agents Renal toxicity has been reported in patients with liver impairment who were given oral cholecystographic agents followed by intravascular contrast agents. Administration of OPTIRAY should be postponed in patients who have recently received a cholecystographic contrast agent.
7.2Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions Protein-Bound Iodine, Radioactive Iodine Determinations The results of protein bound iodine and radioactive iodine uptake studies, which depend on iodine estimation, will not accurately reflect thyroid function for up to 16 days following administration of iodinated contrast agent. However, thyroid function tests that do not depend on iodine estimations, e.g., T3 resin uptake and total or free thyroxine (T4) assays are not affected.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: A lactating woman may pump and discard breast milk for 8 hours after OPTIRAY administration. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Postmarketing data with OPTIRAY use in pregnant women are insufficient to determine if there is a risk of drug-associated adverse developmental outcomes. Ioversol crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in small amounts [see Data]. In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental effects were observed following daily intravenous administrations of ioversol to pregnant rats (from Gestation Day 7 to 17) and rabbits (Gestation Day 6 to 18) at doses 0.35 and 0.71 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose.
The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of major birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriages in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.
Data Human Data Literature reports show that ioversol crosses the placenta and is visualized in the digestive tract of exposed infants after birth. Animal Data Developmental toxicity studies were conducted with ioversol given intravenously at doses of 0, 0.2, 0.8, and 3.2 g iodine/kg/day from Gestation Day7 to 17 and 6 to 18, in rats and rabbits, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in either species at the maximum dose tested (3.2 g iodine/kg/day).
Maternal toxicity was observed in rabbits at 0.8 and 3.2 g iodine/kg/day.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There is no information about the presence of ioversol in human or animal milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. However, iodinated contrast agents are excreted unchanged in human milk in very low amounts with poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of the breastfed infant. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for OPTIRAY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from OPTIRAY or from the underlying maternal condition.
Clinical Considerations Interruption of breastfeeding after exposure to iodinated contrast agents is not necessary because the potential exposure of the breastfed infant to iodine is small. However, a lactating woman may consider interrupting breastfeeding and pumping and discarding breast milk for 8 hours (approximately 5 elimination half-lives) after OPTIRAY administration in order to minimize drug exposure to a breast fed infant.
8.4Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have been established for the use of OPTIRAY 350 and OPTIRAY 320 in angiocardiography; and for OPTIRAY 320 in contrast enhanced computed tomographic imaging of the head and body, and intravenous excretory urography. Use of OPTIRAY 350 and OPTIRAY 320 in these age groups is based on controlled clinical trials involving 159 patients for pediatric angiocardiography; contrast enhanced computed tomographic imaging of the head and body, and intravenous excretory urography.
In general, the types of adverse reactions reported are similar to those of adults [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Safety and effectiveness of OPTIRAY 350 and OPTIRAY 320 have not been established in pediatric patients less than 1 month of age. Pediatric patients at higher risk of experiencing adverse reactions to OPTIRAY include patients with: asthma, sensitivity to medication and/or allergens, congestive heart failure, serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL, or age less than 12 months.
Thyroid function tests indicative of hypothyroidism or transient thyroid suppression have been uncommonly reported following iodinated contrast media administration in pediatric patients, including infants. Some patients were treated for hypothyroidism [See Adverse R…

Safety and effectiveness of OPTIRAY 350 and OPTIRAY 320 have not been established in pediatric patients less than 1 month of age. Pediatric patients at higher risk of experiencing adverse reactions to OPTIRAY include patients with: asthma, sensitivity to medication and/or allergens, congestive heart failure, serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL, or age less than 12 months.
Thyroid function tests indicative of hypothyroidism or transient thyroid suppression have been uncommonly reported following iodinated contrast media administration in pediatric patients, including infants. Some patients were treated for hypothyroidism [See Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Thyroid function tests indicative of thyroid dysfunction, characterized by hypothyroidism or transient thyroid suppression have been uncommonly 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 [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.8 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )].
🧓 Geriatric Use ▾
8.5Geriatric Use OPTIRAY is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of adverse reactions to OPTIRAY may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, dose selection should be cautious usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE The adverse effects of overdosage are life-threatening and affect mainly the pulmonary and cardiovascular system. Treatment of an overdosage is directed toward the support of all vital functions and prompt institution of symptomatic therapy. Ioversol does not bind to plasma or serum protein and is, therefore, dialyzable.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Intravascular injection of ioversol opacifies those vessels in the path of the flow of the contrast medium, permitting radiographic visualization of the internal structures until significant hemodilution occurs. Ioversol may be visualized in the renal parenchyma within 30 to 60 seconds following rapid intravenous injection. Opacification of the calyces and pelves in patients with normal renal function becomes apparent within 1 to 3 minutes, with optimum contrast occurring within 5 to 15 minutes.
OPTIRAY enhances computed tomographic imaging through augmentation of radiographic efficiency. The degree of density enhancement is directly related to the iodine content in an administered dose; peak iodine blood levels occur immediately following rapid intravenous injection. Blood levels fall rapidly within 5 to 10 minutes and the vascular compartment half-life is approximately 20 minutes.
This can be accounted for by the dilution in the vascular and extravascular fluid compartments which causes an initial sharp fall in plasma concentration. Equilibration with the extracellular compartments is reached in about 10 minutes; thereafter, the fall becomes exponential.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Following administration of OPTIRAY, the degree of enhancement is directly related to the iodine content in an administered dose. Peak iodine plasma levels occur immediately following rapid injection. The time to maximum contrast enhancement can vary, depending on the organ, from the time that peak blood iodine concentrations are reached to one hour after intravenous bolus administration.
When a delay between peak blood iodine concentrations and peak contrast is present, it suggests that radiographic contrast enhancement is at least in part dependent on the accumulation of iodine-containing medium within the lesion and outside the blood pool. For angiography, contrast enhancement is greatest immediately (15 seconds to 120 seconds) after rapid injection. Iodinated contrast agents may be visualized in the renal parenchyma within 30-60 seconds following rapid intravenous injection.
Opacification of the calyces and pelves in patients with normal renal function becomes apparent within 1-3 minutes, with optimum contrast occurring within 5-15 minutes.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Based on the blood clearance curves for 12 healthy volunteers (6 receiving 50 mL and 6 receiving 150 mL of OPTIRAY 320), the biological half-life was 1.5 hours for both doses. Distribution In an in vitro human plasma study, ioversol did not bind to protein. The volume of distribution in adults was
0.26L/kg body weight, consistent with distribution to the extracellular space. Elimination Metabolism Ioversol does not undergo significant metabolism, deiodination or biotransformation. Excretion Greater than 95% of the administered dose was excreted in urine within the first 24 hours, with the peak urine concentration occurring in the first two hours after administration.
