Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Drug-Drug Interactions Metformin In patients with renal impairment, biguanides 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, ULTRAVIST administration in patients with an eGFR between 30 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; in patients with a history of hepatic impairment, alcoholism, or heart failure; or in patients who will be administered intra-arterial iodinated contrast agents. Re-evaluate eGFR 48 hours after the imaging procedure and reinstitute only after renal function is stable.
Warnings
WARNING: NOT FOR INTRATHECAL USE WARNING: NOT FOR INTRATHECAL USE See full prescribing information for complete boxed warning. Intrathecal administration, even if inadvertent, may cause death, convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, coma, paralysis, arachnoiditis, acute renal failure, cardiac arrest, seizures, rhabdomyolysis, hyperthermia, and brain edema. ULTRAVIST is not approved for intrathecal use. (5.1) 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity Reactions: Life-threatening or fatal reactions can occur. Always have emergency equipment and trained personnel available. ( 5.2 ) • Acute Kidney Injury : Acute injury including renal failure can occur. Dose minimization and hydration may decrease risk. ( 5.3 ) • Cardiovascular Reactions : Hemodynamic disturbances including shock and cardiac arrest may occur during or after administration. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None None
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no data on ULTRAVIST use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Iopromide crosses the placenta and reaches fetal tissues in small amounts (see Data) . In animal reproduction studies, intravenous administration of iopromide to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to0.35 and 0.7 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area resulted in no relevant adverse developmental effects (see Data) .
