Pharmacologic effects of iopentol after intravenous injection in healthy volunteers. Preliminary report.
The effects of the first injections in humans of iopentol, a new non-ionic contrast medium, are briefly reported. Detailed descriptions will be published elsewhere. Iopentol was well tolerated when injected intravenously into 24 healthy male volunteers in doses of 300 to 1,200 mg I/kg body weight and was excreted almost entirely in the urine in unchanged form. The results indicate that iopentol may be used in clinical trials in patients.
