PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Camber Pharmaceuticals has added diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium solution, USP to its product line. It is the first and only generic option for Gastrografin.
Diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium solution 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.
Diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium solution may also be used as an adjunct to contrast enhancement in computed tomography of the torso (body imaging); the preparation is indicated, in conjunction with intravenous administration of a radiopaque contrast agent, when unenhanced imaging may not provide sufficient definition in distinguishing normal loops of bowel from adjacent organs or areas of suspected pathology.
Diatrizoate meglumine and diatrizoate sodium solution is available in 66-10% strength and in the following bottles sizes:
30 mL x 24 single-dose vials
120 mL x 12 single-dose vials
