⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Life-threatening or fatal reactions can occur. Always have emergency resuscitation equipment and trained personnel available. ( 5.1 ) Acute Kidney Injury: Acute injury including renal failure can occur.
Use the lowest dose and maintain adequate hydration to minimize risk. ( 5.2 ) Cardiovascular Adverse Reactions: Hemodynamic disturbances including shock and cardiac arrest may occur during or after iopamidol injection administration. ( 5.4 ) Thyroid Dysfunction in Pediatric Patients 0 Years to 3 Years of Age: Individualize thyroid function monitoring based on risk factors such as prematurity.
( 5.6 )
5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions Iopamidol injection can cause life-threatening or fatal hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis. Manifestations include respiratory arrest, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, angioedema, and shock [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Most severe reactions develop shortly after the start of injection (e.g., within 1 to 3 minutes), but delayed reactions can also occur.
There is increased risk of hypersensitivity reactions in patients with a history of previous reactions to contrast agents, and known allergic disorders (i.e., bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies) or other hypersensitivities. Premedication with antihistamines or corticosteroids does not prevent serious life-threatening reactions, but may reduce their incidence and severity. Obtain a history of allergy or hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast agents and always have emergency resuscitation equipment and trained personnel available prior to iopamidol injection administration.
Monitor all patients for hypersensitivity reactions.
5.2Acute Kidney Injury Acute kidney injury, including renal failure, may occur after administration of iodinated contrast agents. Risk factors include pre-existing renal insufficiency, dehydration, diabetes mellitus, congestive heart failure, advanced vascular disease, elderly age, concomitant use of nephrotoxic or diuretic medications, multiple myeloma or other paraproteinemias, and repetitive or large doses of iodinated contrast agents. Use the lowest dose of iopamidol injection, especially in patients with risk factors for acute kidney injury.
Adequately hydrate patients prior to and following iopamidol injection administration .
5.3Increased Risk of Seizures Focal and generalized motor seizures have been reported after intrathecal use of iodinated contrast agents including iopamidol injection. In several of the cases, higher than recommended doses were administered. Use of medications that may lower the seizure threshold (phenothiazine derivatives, including those used for their antihistaminic properties; tricyclic antidepressants; MAO inhibitors; CNS stimulants; analeptics; antipsychotic agents) should be carefully evaluated.
Consider discontinuing these agents at least 48 hours before and for at least 24 hours following intrathecal administration of iopamidol injection.
5.4Cardiovascular Adverse Reactions Iodinated contrast agents increase 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, and combined renal and cardiac disease, particularly when repetitive or large doses are administered. Fatal cardiovascular reactions have occurred mostly within 10 minutes of injection of iodinated contrast agent by an intravascular route; the main feature was cardiac arrest with cardiovascular disease as the main underlying factor.
Hypotensive collapse and shock have occurred. The administration of iodinated contrast agent may cause pulmonary edema in patients with heart failure. Based upon published reports, deaths associated with 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).

6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of iopamidol injection and other iopamidol products. Because the reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Blood and lymphatic system disorders: thrombocytopenia Cardiovascular disorders: cardiopulmonary arrest, cardiac decompensation, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, shock, electrocardiographic changes (e.g., increased QTc, increased R-R, increased T-wave amplitude), decreased systolic pressure, deep vein thrombosis, arterial spasms, transient ischemic attack, flushing, vasodilation, chest pain, pallor Endocrine disorders: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism Eye disorders: lacrimation increased, conjunctivitis, eye pruritus, transient blindness, visual disturbance, photophobia Gastrointestinal disorders: retching, abdominal pain, salivary hypersecretion, salivary gland enlargement General disorders and administration site conditions: chills, malaise Immune system disorders: anaphylaxis characterized by cardiovascular, respiratory, and cutaneous manifestations (e.g., chest tightness, laryngeal edema, periorbital edema, facial edema); delayed hypersensitivity reactions including generalized maculopapular rash, erythema, pruritus, localized blistering, skin peeling Infections and infestations: meningitis aseptic, meningitis bacterial as consequence of the proce…
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: A lactating woman may pump and discard breast milk for 10 hours after iopamidol injection administration. ( 8.2 )
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Available data from published literature and postmarketing cases from decades of use with iopamidol during pregnancy have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Iopamidol crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in small amounts ( see Data ). In animal reproduction studies, no adverse developmental outcomes were observed with intravenous administration of iopamidol to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 2.7 and 1.4 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose ( see Data ).
The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
Data Human Data Literature reports show that intravenously administered iopamidol crosses the placenta and is visualized in the digestive tract of exposed infants after birth. Animal Data Iopamidol did not affect fetal development and did not induce teratogenic changes in the offspring in either rats or rabbits at the following dose levels tested: 600 mg, 1,500 mg, or 4,000 mg iodine/kg in rats, administered intravenously once a day during days 6 through 15 of pregnancy; 300 mg, 800 mg, or 2,000 mg iodine/kg in rabbits, administered intravenously once a day during days 6 through 18 of pregnancy.
8.2Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of iopamidol in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. Iodinated contrast agents are present unchanged in human milk in very low amounts, with poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of a breastfed infant. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for iopamidol injection and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from iopamidol injection 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 10 hours (approximately 5 half- lives) after iopamidol injection administration in order to minimize drug exposure to a breastfed infant.
8.4Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of iopamidol injection for lumbar and thoracic myelography and CT myelography have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older. Pediatric patients at higher risk of experiencing adverse reactions during and after any iodinated contrast agent administration may include those having asthma, sensitivity to medication or allergens, cyanotic heart disease, congestive heart failure, or serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL. Thyroid function tests indicative of thyroid dysfunction, characterized by hypothyroidism or transient thyroid suppression have been reported following iodinated contrast agent administration in pediatric patients, including term and preterm neonates; Some patients were treated for hypothyroidism.
After exposure to iodinated contrast agent, 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 ( 5.6 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . The safety and effectiveness of iopamidol injection for lumbar and thoracic myelography and CT myelography have not been established in pediatric patients younger…
🆘 Overdosage ▾
10 OVERDOSAGE Doses above 3,000 mg iodine in adults and 2,400 mg iodine in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older may result in an increased frequency and severity of adverse reactions including seizures. Treatment of an overdose is directed toward the support of all vital functions and prompt institution of symptomatic therapy. Iopamidol can be removed by dialysis.
🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Intrathecal administration of iopamidol opacifies the body structures where the contrast agent is present, permitting their radiographic visualization through attenuation of photons.
12.2Pharmacodynamics Following intrathecal injection, iopamidol provides diagnostic contrast for at least 30 minutes for conventional myelography. At about 1 hour, contrast will no longer be sufficient for conventional myelography. However, diagnostic contrast for CT myelography remains at least 6 hours after administration. The exposure-response relationships and time course of pharmacodynamic response of iopamidol have not been fully characterized.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption Iopamidol is absorbed into the bloodstream from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF); following intrathecal administration, iopamidol appears in plasma within 1 hour and virtually all of the drug reaches the systemic circulation within 24 hours. Distribution Iopamidol did not bind to serum or plasma proteins at 1 hour after administration. Elimination The plasma half-life is approximately 2 hours; the half-life is not dose dependent .
Metabolism Iopamidol does not undergo significant metabolism, deiodination, or biotransformation. Excretion Iopamidol is excreted mainly through the kidneys following intrathecal administration, and the drug is essentially undetectable in the plasma 48 hours later. In patients with normal renal function, the cumulative urinary excretion for iopamidol, expressed as a percentage of administered intravenous dose is approximately 35% to 40% at 60 minutes, 80% to 90% at 8 hours, and 90% or more in the 72- to 96-hour period after administration.
In patients with normal renal function, approximately 1% or less of the administered dose appears in cumulative 72- to 96-hour fecal specimens.
