Isovue is a non-radioactive contrast agent that contains iodine. You might want to look for more general info on radiocontast agents with iodine. It is used in infants with precautions if there are pre-existing conditions that may lead to dehydration http://www.drugs.com/mmx/isovue-m-300.html And you can find this in Lactmed http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search "Summary of Use during Lactation: Intravenous iodinated contrast media are poorly excreted into breastmilk and poorly absorbed orally so they are not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Both the American College of Radiology and the European Society of Urogenital Radiology have adopted policies stating that breastfeeding need not be disrupted after a nursing mother receives an iodine-containing contrast medium.[1][2] However, because there is no published experience with iopamidol during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Trouble finding recommendation on drug not on NCR > ------------------------------ > > Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 11:55:51 -0600 > From: Price Pamela B <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Trouble finding recommendation on drug not on NCR > > Please help, I have looked on the NCR recommendation table and also tried to find on line some information on the radiopharmaceutical: Isovue 370 (Iopamidol 76%) My patient was told 24 hours to pump and dump. The nearest I can figure is that it would be 10 hours since the half life of Isovue 370 is 2 hours, but I didn't find any specific information regarding recommendation. Is anyone else familiar with this med? I checked Hale's site as well, but could not find anything there either.=20 > Thanks, > Pam Price IBCLC > Charleston SC, 29407 > USA *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
