Acetrizoic acid (trade names Gastrografina, Urografina in Portugal) is a palatable lemon-flavored water-soluble iodinated radiopaque X-ray contrast medium for oral or rectal administration only. Acetrizoic acid is indicated for radiographic examination of segments of the gastrointestinal tract (esophagus, stomach, proximal small intestine, and colon). The preparation is particularly indicated when a more viscous agent such as barium sulfate, which is not water-soluble, is not feasible or is potentially dangerous. Administration of hypertonic Gastrografin solutions may lead to hypovolemia and hypotension due to fluid loss from the intestine.

Adult oral dosage may range from 30 to 90 mL (11 to 33 g iodine), depending on the nature of the examination and the size of the patient. For infants and children less than 5 years of age, 30 mL (11 g iodine) are usually adequate; for children 5 to 10 years of age, the suggested dose is 60 mL (22 g iodine).
Route of Administration:
Oral
Blood was taken from the femoral artery of heparinized dogs (heparin 500 I.U./kg I.V.). Immediately after collection, the blood samples were incubated for 45 sec. at 37 C with the solutions of the ACETRIZOIC ACID;the final concentrations of the contrast media in the incubation medium were 220 mM. This was done by adding to aliquots of whole blood the solutions oЈ contrast media, which were hyperosmolar to plasma (2200 mOsm).
