[Clinical experiences with iodoxamic acid in the cholecystography-cholangiography (author's transl)].

Intravenous contrast media must have an optimum biliary excretion and a small urinary excretion, also a good tolerability. These demands are not dependent on the proportion of iodine, but of the proportion of the transport medium. By searching for a good transport medium iodoxamic acid has been found. In experiments this acid was compared with other intravenous contrast media. A better tolerability and better diagnostical effectivity had been proved. At the clinical examination of 86 cases we could point out a very good to good tolerability and a good diagnostical effect. Our experiences conform to other authors all of the world. In the Federal Republic of Germany this contrast medium is called Endomirabil and exists in ampoules of 20 cc and 30 cc contents and in bottles of 100 cc contents.
