Hexabrix as a contrast agent for hysterosalpingography.
Hexabrix, a monoacidic dimeric iodinated contrast material, was compared with Renografin 60 (diatrizoate meglumine) for safety, tolerance, and efficacy in hysterosalpingography, in a double blind study of 52 patients. No serious adverse reactions were noted in either group of patients. Discomfort during and after the procedure was not statistically different in the two groups. No difference in radiographic quality was seen. It was concluded that Hexabrix, despite reduced osmolality and increased viscosity, offers no significant benefit over Renografin 60, but it is a safe and acceptable contrast agent for hysterosalpingography.
