ACTION AND CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
ULTRAVIST (iopromide) is a nonionic iodinated, water-soluble,
radiographic contrast
medium which is available in two stable, ready-to-use solutions of
different
concentrations. Following intravascular injection, iopromide provides
radiographic
opacification of the vasculature and extracellular space in the path
of flow of the agent,
allowing diagnostic assessment of the limbs and internal organs until
significant dilution
occurs. For example, after intravenous injection, opacification of the
renal parenchyma
begins within 1 minute. Excretion of the contrast agent becomes
apparent in
1 to 3 minutes with optimal contrast in the calyces and collecting
system occurring
between 5 and 15 minutes. In nephropathic conditions, particularly
when excretory
capacity has been altered, the excretion rate varies unpredictably and
opacification may
be delayed for several hours after injection.

_Page 3 of 60_
The pharmacokinetics of iopromide are similar to those of other ionic
and nonionic
contrast media. Immediately following intravascular injection,
iopromide reaches peak
plasma concentrations and is then rapidly distributed throughout the
extracellular fluid
compartment. It is excreted unchanged by the kidneys mainly by
glomerular filtration.
About 90% of the inj
