title: Tolerability of iohexol after injection into healthy volunteers.
abstract: The effects of iohexol, a new non-ionic contrast medium, after intravenous injection into humans are reported. After injection of small doses into 2 subjects, iohexol was injected intravenously into 20 healthy male volunteers in doses of 125 to 500 mg I/kg body weight. A large number of physiologic, biochemical, hematologic and pharmacokinetic parameters were analysed. The results indicated that iohexol was well tolerated and that clinical trials in patients could be undertaken.
