Iopamiro Reviews

Lopamiro or Lopamidol is a contrast material (tri-iodide solution) is injected intravenously or through Lumbar Puncture. Usually it is removed by the kidneys in 2 hrs. Lopamiro is known to cause vasodilations and as a result most patients with hypotension react to it adversely as soon as it is injected. To prevent this a detailed medical history is taken before applying the solution.

Most common side effect is heart related (generally arythmia). Patient must be IMMEDIATELY treated (usually with epinephrine) or result is death.

I just read a piece of news from Bangladesh paper The Daily Star online. The full article can be read at the given link below. One patient died soon after the injection  of 60ml of Iopamiro as per news.  A short excerpt is pasted here.
