What is this medication?

Optiray 300, 320, and 350 are brand names for ioversol, which is a type of radiopaque contrast agent used during medical imaging procedures. This medication contains iodine, which absorbs X-rays as they pass through the body. It is typically administered by a healthcare professional through an injection into a vein or artery to help doctors clearly see specific internal structures that would otherwise be difficult to distinguish from surrounding tissues.

These specific formulations are commonly used for a variety of diagnostic tests, including computed tomography (CT) scans, angiography, and urography. By enhancing the visibility of blood vessels, the heart, and various organs, Optiray helps in the detection of abnormalities like blockages, tumors, or vascular diseases. The different numerical values in the product names refer to the concentration of iodine, allowing physicians to select the appropriate strength based on the specific requirements of the imaging study being performed.
