2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION For each imaging procedure, specific dosage forms, concentrations, and presentations are recommended. Individualize the concentration and volume according to the specific dosing tables and accounting for factors such as age, body weight, and condition of the patient, and the equipment and imaging technique used. ( 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 , 2.8 , 2.9 ) See full prescribing information for complete dosing and administration information. ( 2 ) 2.1 Important Dosage and Administration Instructions Specific dosage forms, concentrations, and presentations of OMNIPAQUE are recommended for each type of imaging procedure [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 , 2.8 , 2.9) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ]. Individualize the volume, strength, and rate of administration of OMNIPAQUE injection according to the specific dosing tables [see Dosage and Administration (2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 , 2.8 , 2.9) ] . Consider factors such as age, body weight, vessel size, blood flow rate within the vessel, anticipated pathology, degree and extent of opacification required, structures or area to be examined, disease processes affecting the patient, and equipment and technique to be employed. Hydrate patients before and after administration of OMNIPAQUE injection [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ]. Use aseptic technique for all handling and administration of OMNIPAQUE injection. Administer OMNIPAQUE injection at either body (37°C, 98.6°F) or room temperature (20°C to 25°C, 68°F to 77°F). Do not mix OMNIPAQUE injection with, or inject in intravenous lines containing, other drugs or total nutritional admixtures except when OMNIPAQUE injection is administered in an automated contrast injection system or contrast management system suitable for simultaneous injection of OMNIPAQUE injection and 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection [see Dosage and Administration (2.10 , 2.11) ]. Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit. Each container of OMNIPAQUE injection and OMNIPAQUE oral solution in single-dose containers are intended for one procedure only. Discard any unused portion. 2.2 Recommended Dosage for Intrathecal Procedures in Adults The recommended doses for intrathecal procedures in adults are shown in Table 1. Administer over 1 minute to 2 minutes. If sequential or repeat examinations are required, allow at least 48 hours for clearance of the drug from the body before repeat administration; however, whenever possible, 5 days to 7 days is recommended. If CT myelography is performed, delay imaging by several hours to reduce the degree of contrast. Table 1.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drug-Drug Interactions Metformin In patients with renal impairment, metformin can cause lactic acidosis. Iodinated contrast agents appear to increase the risk of metformin-induced lactic acidosis, possibly as a result of worsening renal function. Stop metformin at the time of, or prior to, OMNIPAQUE administration in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ; in patients with a history of hepatic impairment, alcoholism or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra-arterial iodinated contrast. Re-evaluate eGFR 48 hours after the imaging procedure, and reinstitute metformin only after renal function is stable. Radioactive Iodine OMNIPAQUE may interfere with thyroid uptake of radioactive iodine (I-131 and I-123) and decrease therapeutic and diagnostic efficacy. Avoid thyroid therapy or testing for up to 6 weeks post OMNIPAQUE. 7.2 Drug-Laboratory Test Interactions Protein-Bound Iodine Test Iodinated contrast agents, including OMNIPAQUE, will temporarily increase protein-bound iodine in blood. Do not perform protein-bound iodine test for at least 16 days following administration of OMNIPAQUE. However, thyroid function tests that do not depend on iodine estimation, e.g., T 3 resin uptake or direct thyroxine assays, are not affected.

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Lactation: A lactating woman may pump and discard breast milk for 10 hours after OMNIPAQUE administration. ( 8.2 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Hysterosalpingography is contraindicated in pregnant women due to the potential risk to the fetus from an intrauterine procedure [see Contraindications (4) ]. There are no data with iohexol use in pregnant women to inform any drug-associated risks. Iohexol crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in small amounts ( see Data ) . In animal reproduction studies, no developmental toxicity occurred with intravenous iohexol administration to rats and rabbits at doses up to 0.4 (rat) and 0.5 (rabbit) times the maximum recommended human intravenous dose ( see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Human Data Literature reports show that intravenously administered iohexol crosses the placenta and is visualized in the digestive tract of exposed infants after birth. Animal Data Iohexol was neither embryotoxic nor teratogenic in either rats or rabbits at the following dose levels tested: 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 g iodine/kg in rats, administered intravenously to 3 groups of 25 dams once daily during days 6 through 15 of pregnancy; 0.3, 1.0, 2.5 g iodine/kg in rabbits, administered intravenously to 3 groups of 18 rabbits dosed once a day during days 6 through 18 of pregnancy. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary Published literature reports that breast feeding after intravenous iohexol administration to the mother would result in the infant receiving an oral dose of approximately 0.7% of the maternal intravenous dose; however, lactation studies have not been conducted with oral, intrathecal, or intracavity administration of iohexol. There is no information on the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant or on milk production. Iodinated contrast agents are excreted unchanged in human milk in very low amounts with poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of a breastfed infant. Exposure to iohexol to a breastfed infant can be minimized by temporary discontinuation of breastfeeding (see Clinical Considerations ). The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for OMNIPAQUE and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from OMNIPAQUE or from the underlying maternal condition. Clinical Considerations Interruption of breastfeeding after exposure to iodinated contrast agents is not necessary because the potential exposure of the breastfed infant to iodine is small. However, a lactating woman may consider interrupting breastfeeding and pumping and discarding breast milk for 10 hours (approximately 5 elimination half-lives) after OMNIPAQUE administration to minimize drug exposure to a breastfed infant. 8.4 Pediatric Use Intrathecal Use The safety and effectiveness of OMNIPAQUE have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 weeks and older for myelography and CT myelography (lumbar, thoracic, cervical, total columnar) and for CT cisternography. Use of OMNIPAQUE is supported by controlled clinical studies in adults for myelography, in addition to clinical studies in pediatric patients undergoing myelography. The safety and effectiveness of OMNIPAQUE have not been established for intrathecal use in pediatric patients less than 2 weeks of age. The safety and effectiveness of OMNIPAQUE for CT cerebral ventriculography have not been established in pediatric patients. Intra-arterial or Intravenous Use Cardiac Ventriculography, Aortography, and Pulmonary Angiography The safety and effectiveness of OMNIPAQUE have been established in pediatric patients from birth to 17 y …

12.1 Mechanism of Action The iodine atoms in iohexol provide attenuation of X-rays in direct proportion to the concentration of iohexol. Since concentration changes over time, iohexol provides time-dependent image contrast which may assist in visualizing body structures.
