Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection

Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection, made by Health Care Pharmaceuticals, is a gadolinium-based MRI contrast medium. Its active ingredient is Contrast Agent 350mg/ml, and it is used for imaging (MRI/CT) scans.

Uses of Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection

Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection is injected before or during a scan to make certain tissues and blood vessels show up more clearly. Gadopentetate is used with MRI scans of the brain, spine and other parts of the body, helping doctors detect tumours, inflammation, infection or blood vessel problems. It is a diagnostic agent and does not treat any condition itself.

How Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection works

Gadopentetate contains gadolinium, a metal that alters the magnetic behaviour of nearby water molecules. Tissues where it collects appear brighter on MRI images, giving a clearer contrast between normal and abnormal areas. It is then removed from the body by the kidneys.

Possible side effects

Reactions to Omnipaque 350mg/ml Injection are usually mild and short-lived, for example:

• A warm or cold feeling at the injection site
• Nausea
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Altered taste

The team will watch you after the injection; tell them straight away if you feel short of breath, itchy, swollen or faint. Severe allergic reactions are rare but need immediate treatment.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given in hospital or clinic by trained staff.
• Tell the team about allergies and other medicines, especially any previous reaction to contrast dye, asthma or other allergies.
• Let staff know if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis; in severe kidney disease gadolinium agents carry a rare risk of a serious skin and tissue condition.
• Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before the scan.
• Drink fluids afterwards unless you have been told to limit them.
