VoLumen
Overview
What is VoLumen?
VoLumen is a barium sulfate suspension 0.1% w/v, 0.1% w/w for oral administration.
Each 100 mL contains 0.1 g barium sulfate. Barium sulfate, due to
its high molecular density is opaque to x-rays and therefore, acts
as a positive contrast agent for radiographic studies. 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 VoLumen?
For use in Computed
Tomography to opacify the GI tract.
The volume
of the CT barium sulfate suspension to be administered will depend
on the degree and extent of contrast required in the area(s) under
examination and on the technique employed.
What interacts with VoLumen?
This product should not be used in patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal perforation or hypersensitivity to barium sulfate or any component of this barium sulfate formulation.
What are the warnings of VoLumen?
Persons who are on drugs which suppress the immune system are more susceptible to infections than healthy individuals. Chickenpox and measles, for example, can have a more serious or even fatal course in non-immune children or adults on corticosteroids. In such children or adults who have not had these diseases, particular care should be taken to avoid exposure. How the dose, route and duration of corticosteroid administration affects the risk of developing a disseminated infection is not known. The contribution of the underlying disease and/or prior corticosteroid treatment to the risk is also not known. If exposed to chickenpox, prophylaxis with varicella-zoster immune globulin (VZIG) may be indicated. If exposed to measles, prophylaxis with pooled intramuscular immunoglobulin (IG) may be indicated. (See the respective package inserts for complete VZIG and IG prescribing information.) If chickenpox develops, treatment with antiviral agents may be considered.
What are the precautions of VoLumen?
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. Caution should
be exercised with the use of radiopaque media in severely debilitated
patients and in those with marked hypertension or advanced cardiac
disease. Ingestion of barium is not recommended in patients with a
history of food aspiration. If barium studies are required in these
patients or in patients in whom integrity of the swallowing mechanism
is unknown, proceed with caution. If barium is aspirated into the
larynx, further administration should be immediately discontinued.
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.
- Seek immediate medical attention if they experience an allergic reaction after using this product.
Before administration of this product, patients receiving barium sulfate diagnostic agents should be instructed to:
Drug Interactions
The presence of barium sulfate formulations in the GI tract may alter the absorption of therapeutic agents taken concomitantly. In order to minimize any potential change in absorption, the separate administration of barium sulfate from that of other agents should be considered.
Usage in Pregnancy
Radiation is known to cause harm to the unborn fetus exposed in utero. Therefore, radiographic procedures should only be used when, in the judgement of the physician, its 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 VoLumen?
Sorry No records found
What should I look out for while using VoLumen?
This product should not be used in patients with
known or suspected gastrointestinal perforation or hypersensitivity
to barium sulfate or any component of this barium sulfate formulation.
Rarely, severe allergic reactions of an anaphylactoid
nature, have been reported following administration of barium sulfate
contrast agents. Appropriately trained personnel and facilities 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 VoLumen?
On rare occasions following repeated administration,
severe stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation
may occur. These indicated responses can be present in both fluoroscopic
and CT procedures. These are transitory in nature and are not considered
serious. Symptoms may be treated according to currently accepted standards
of medical care.

Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical 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 from the GI tract unchanged.
Non-Clinical Toxicology

Adverse reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping, accompanying the use of barium sulfate formulations are infrequent and usually mild. Severe reactions (approximately 1 in 1,000,000) and fatalities (approximately 1 in 10,000,000) have occurred. Procedural complications are rare, but may include aspiration pneumonitis, granuloma formation, intravasation, embolization and peritonitis following intestinal perforation, vasovagal and syncopal episodes, and fatalities.
