1. WHAT GASTROMIRO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Gastromiro is an X-ray contrast medium. This is a special dye which is
opaque to X-rays because it contains
iodine.
X-ray radiation is used to obtain an image of the tissues of the body.
The rays are directed on to the area of
the body being investigated and pass through it to record an image on
photographic film. If the doctor needs
to highlight a particular area of the body to get better information,
he/she will carry out a contrast X-ray. This
means that a dye which absorbs X-rays will be used.
Gastromiro is such a dye.
It has been specially made into a drink or given as enema for
investigation of the digestive system.
Because of its special formulation Gastromiro is used particularly in
situations where it is possible that some
dye could leak outside the digestive system. It is also particularly
suited to babies and children.
Gastromiro may also be used if you are having a CAT scan (Computer
Axial Tomography).
This medicine is for diagnostic use only.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE GASTROMIRO
Gastromiro should only be given to you in a hospital or clinic where
there are equipment and medically
trained staff able to deal with allergic reactio
