E-Z-Disk

Overview

What is E-Z-Disk?

E-Z-DISK™ is an oral solid radiographic contrast agent. Each tablet contains 700 mg of barium sulfate and is ½ inch in diameter. The active ingredient is barium sulfate and its structural formula is BaSO. Barium sulfate occurs as a fine, white, odorless, tasteless, bulky powder which is free from grittiness. Its aqueous suspensions are neutral to litmus. It is practically insoluble in water, solutions of acids and alkalies, and organic solvents.

How should I use E-Z-Disk?

E-Z-DISK is indicated for use in radiography of the esophagus, for detection of esophageal strictures.

This tablet is most useful in patients experiencing dysphagia, particularly in those whose findings are deemed inconclusive by conventional methods. The problems associated with obtaining satisfactory films exhibiting complete filling of the pharynx and cricopharyngeal area make for difficult diagnosis in this region. In such cases, failure of the tablet to freely pass this site may indicate significant esophageal disease as cause of the symptoms, and may warrant further videographic studies.

The patient should be instructed to swallow one tablet intact, with the aid of one or two swallows of water, just prior to fluoroscopic examination. Using a tablet of known diameter (½ inch) not only illustrates the presence of a significant narrowing of the esophagus, but also provides a simple technique to measure the lumen at the site of the stricture. The most routinely used esophagoscope has external diameter of 36 French, and thus a tablet of corresponding half-inch diameter was selected. The actual diameter (in inches) of the narrow site is one-half the ratio of its measure value on the film to the measure of the tablet

Upon swallowing the tablet, the patient experiences no significant discomfort, and fluid passes around the tablet without difficulty.


What interacts with E-Z-Disk?

Barium sulfate products for radiographic procedures should not be used in patients with known gastric or intestinal perforation or hypersensitivity to barium sulfate formulations.



What are the warnings of E-Z-Disk?

Other drugs possibly affecting alprazolam metabolism by inhibition of CYP3A are discussed in the section (see : Drug Interactions).


What are the precautions of E-Z-Disk?

General

Diagnostic procedures which involve the use of radiopaque contrast agents should be carried out under the direction of personnel with the requisite training and with a thorough knowledge of the particular procedure to be performed. A history of bronchial asthma, atopy, as evidenced by hay fever and eczema, or a previous reaction to a contrast agent, warrant special attention.

Use with caution in patients with complete or nearly complete esophageal or gastric obstruction.

Information For Patients

  • Inform their physician if they are pregnant.
  • Inform their physician if they are allergic to any drugs or food, or if they have had any prior reactions to barium sulfate products or other contrast agents used in x-ray procedures (see ).
  • Inform their physician about any other medications they are currently taking.


Before administration of this product, patients receiving barium sulfate diagnostic agents should be instructed to:

Usage in Pregnancy

Radiation is known to cause harm to the unborn fetus exposed in utero. Therefore, radiographic procedures should be used only when, in the judgment of the physician, their use is deemed essential to the welfare of the pregnant patient.

Nursing Mothers

Barium sulfate products may be used during lactation.


What are the side effects of E-Z-Disk?

Sorry No records found


What should I look out for while using E-Z-Disk?

Barium sulfate products for radiographic procedures should not be used in patients with known gastric or intestinal perforation or hypersensitivity to barium sulfate formulations.

Rarely, severe allergic reactions of an anaphylactoid nature have been reported following administration of barium sulfate contrast agents. Appropriate facilities and trained personnel should be available for emergency treatment of severe reactions and should remain available for at least 30 to 60 minutes following administration, since delayed reactions can occur.


What might happen if I take too much E-Z-Disk?

Clinical Information

Chemical Structure

No Image found
Clinical Pharmacology

Barium sulfate, due to its high molecular density is opaque to x-rays and therefore acts as a positive contrast agent for radiographic studies. Barium sulfate is biologically inert and therefore is not absorbed or metabolized by the body, and is eliminated unchanged from the body.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Barium sulfate products for radiographic procedures should not be used in patients with known gastric or intestinal perforation or hypersensitivity to barium sulfate formulations.

Rarely, severe allergic reactions of an anaphylactoid nature have been reported following administration of barium sulfate contrast agents. Appropriate facilities and trained personnel should be available for emergency treatment of severe reactions and should remain available for at least 30 to 60 minutes following administration, since delayed reactions can occur.

Diagnostic procedures which involve the use of radiopaque contrast agents should be carried out under the direction of personnel with the requisite training and with a thorough knowledge of the particular procedure to be performed. A history of bronchial asthma, atopy, as evidenced by hay fever and eczema, or a previous reaction to a contrast agent, warrant special attention.

Use with caution in patients with complete or nearly complete esophageal or gastric obstruction.

Adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping accompanying the use of barium sulfate suspensions are infrequent, usually mild, and generally do not occur with this product. Procedural complications are rare, but may include aspiration pneumonitis, granuloma formation, intravasation, embolization and peritonitis following intestinal perforation, vasovagal and syncopal episodes, and fatalities. It is of the utmost importance to be completely prepared to treat any such occurrence.
