OMNIPAQUE 70 vs ULTRAVIST 370
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Iodinated contrast agent that attenuates X-rays, enhancing vascular and tissue contrast by increasing the density of blood vessels and organs.
Iodinated non-ionic contrast agent that attenuates X-rays due to its high iodine content (370 mg I/mL), enhancing vascular and tissue contrast during imaging. Does not bind to plasma proteins and has minimal pharmacological effects.
1.5-2.0 mL/kg IV for contrast enhanced CT, max 150 mL; intra-arterial: 5-40 mL per injection depending on procedure.
Adult: IV administration of 370 mg iodine/mL at 1-1.5 mL/kg (370-555 mg I/kg) for CT; up to 300 mL total. Rate: 1-5 mL/sec.

Terminal elimination half-life: 1-2 hours in normal renal function; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 20-30 hours in severe dysfunction).
Terminal elimination half-life: 2 hours (normal renal function); prolonged to up to 36 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Renal: 100% unchanged via glomerular filtration. No biliary or fecal elimination.
Renal: 95% unchanged within 24 hours via glomerular filtration; Biliary/Fecal: <5%; negligible biliary excretion.
