VISIPAQUE™
(iodixanol) Injection
     320

VISIPAQUE™ (iodixanol) Injection, 5,5'-[(2-hydroxy-1,3-propanediyl)bis (acetylimino)]bis[N,N'-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-2,4,6- triiodo-1,3- benzenedicarboxamide], is a dimeric, isosmolar, nonionic, water-soluble, radiographic contrast medium with a molecular weight of 1550.

INTRA-ARTERIAL

VISIPAQUE Injection (270 mgI/mL) is indicated for intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography.

VISIPAQUE Injection (320 mgI/mL) is indicated for angiocardiography (left ventriculography and selective coronary arteriography), peripheral arteriography, visceral arteriography, and cerebral arteriography.

INTRAVENOUS For information on the concentrations and doses for the pediatric population see the Precautions–Pediatric Use, Clinical Pharmacology–Special Populations, and Dosage and Administration sections.

VISIPAQUE Injection (270 mgI/mL) is indicated for CECT imaging of the head and body, excretory urography, and peripheral venography.
