Ioxilan Disease Interactions

Administration of radiopaque materials to patients known or suspected of having pheochromocytoma should be performed with extreme caution. If, in the opinion of the physician, the possible benefits of such procedures outweigh the considered risk, the procedures should be performed with the absolute minimum amount of injected radiopaque medium. The blood pressure should be assessed throughout the procedure and measures for treatment of a hypertensive crisis should be available.

In patients with advanced renal disease, iodinated contrast media should be used with caution, and only when the need for the examination dictates, since the excretion of the medium may be impaired. Patients with combined renal and hepatic disease, severe hypertension or congestive heart failure, and those with recent renal transplant may present an additional risk.
