What is Omnipaque?

Omnipaque is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by GE Healthcare. Omnipaque is a radiographic contrast agent used for intrathecal, intravascular, oral, rectal, intraarticular, and body cavity use (X-rays). Omnipaque oral solution is used for oral use only with Omnipaque injection given intravenously for computed tomography (CT scans) of the abdomen.

Omnipaque 140, Omnipaque 180, Omnipaque 240, Omnipaque 300, and Omnipaque 350 have osmolalities from 1.1 to 3.0 times that of plasma or cerebrospinal fluid and are hypertonic under conditions of use.

Omnipaque is available as:

• Omnipaque injection – 140 mg of iodine per mL +PlusPak polymer bottles, 180 mg of iodine per mL in glass vials, 240 mg of iodine per mL, 300 mg of iodine per mL, and 350 mg of iodine per mL in glass vials and bottles and +PlusPak polymer bottles
• Omnipaque oral solution – 9 mg of iodine per mL, and 12 mg of iodine per mL in +PlusPak polymer bottles

Omnipaque is given as an intravascular administration. It may cause sickling in patients who are homozygous for sickle cell disease. A total dose of 3060 mg iodine or a concentration of 300 mg/mL should not be exceeded in adults and a total dose of 2700 mg iodine or a concentration of 180 mgI/mL should not be exceeded in children in a single examination.

Your dose for intravenous administration of Omnipaque injection will be based on your age, body weight, vessel size, blood flow within the vessel, expected pathology, the degree and level of opacification required, the area to be examined, your illness, and the equipment and technique to be used. Always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
