Directions

Administration: Ultravist 370 is for intravenous use only. Follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage, rate of injection, and monitoring during the procedure.

Scientific Evidence

Pharmacological Effects: Iopromide, the active ingredient in Ultravist 370, is a nonionic, water-soluble contrast agent that enhances the visibility of blood vessels and tissues during imaging. It achieves this by altering the attenuation of X-rays, providing clear images for diagnostic purposes.

Clinical Trials: Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of Ultravist 370 in improving image quality and diagnostic accuracy in various imaging procedures. Research by Smith et al. (2018) showed a significant improvement in the visualization of vascular structures with the use of iopromide-based contrast agents.

Comparative Effectiveness: Ultravist 370 has shown comparable effectiveness to other contrast agents in terms of image enhancement and safety profile. Studies comparing iopromide with other iodinated contrast agents have reported similar diagnostic outcomes and adverse reaction rates.

Additional Information

• Storage: Store Ultravist 370 as per the instructions provided on the packaging. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or light.
• Adverse Reactions: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions. Report any unexpected or severe reactions to a healthcare provider immediately.
