It is classified as a water-soluble, nephrotrophic, low osmolar X-ray contrast medium.[2] Low osmolar non-ionic agents are better tolerated and less likely to cause side effects than the high osmolar ionic agents.[2]

Society and culture

Iomeprol is not metabolized in the human body but excreted in unchanged form. It is decomposed slowly and can therefore accumulate in the environment.[6]
