Overview

What is ORALTAG?

Oraltag (iohexol) is a radiographic contrast agent for oral solution. Oraltag is provided as a nonsterile white to off-white powder with 9.7 g iohexol (equivalent to 4.5 g of carbon bound iodine) in a 20-ounce beverage bottle. Each bottle is individually sealed in a foil laminated pouch. Oraltag consists of 100 percent iohexol and contains no excipients.

Iohexol is designated chemically as N,N´-bis(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)-5-[N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)acetamido]-2,4,6-triiodoisophthalamide. It is a nonionic, water-soluble iodinated contrast medium with a molecular weight of 821.14 (carbon bound iodine content 46.36%). In aqueous solution each triiodinated molecule remains undissociated.

The chemical structure is:

Oraltag, when prepared at a concentration of 9 mgI/mL in water, has an osmolality of 30 mOsmol/kg water. The calculated osmolality of 21 mgI/mL in water is 55 mOsmol/kg water. The prepared solutions are hypotonic.

Clinical Pharmacology

Iohexol enhances imaging due to its high iodine content attenuating the beam of X-rays during CT examinations. Different tissues within the body attenuate X-rays to different degrees, and oral administration of iohexol allows for enhanced visualization due to the iodine present in bowel loops.

Non-Clinical Toxicology
Oraltag is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to iodinated contrast agents, including iohexol .
