Warnings and Precautions 

  • Optiray can cause life-threatening or fatal hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock.
  • There is an increased risk in patients with a history of a previous reaction to contrast agent, and known allergies (i.e., bronchial asthma, drug, or food allergies), and other hypersensitivities.
  • Optiray increases the circulatory osmotic load and may induce acute or delayed hemodynamic disturbances in patients with congestive heart failure, severely impaired renal function, combined renal and hepatic disease, combined renal and cardiac disease, particularly when repetitive or large doses are administered.
  • Life-threatening or fatal cardiovascular reactions have occurred with the use of Optiray, including cardiac arrest, hypotensive collapse, and shock.
  • Cardiac decompensation, serious arrhythmias, and myocardial ischemia or infarction can occur during coronary arteriography and ventriculography.
  • Serious, fatal, thromboembolic events causing myocardial infarction and stroke can occur during angiographic procedures with Optiray.
  • Extravasation can occur with Optiray administration, particularly in patients with severe arterial or venous disease and can be associated with pain, hemorrhage and necrosis.
  • Hypertensive crisis has occurred after the use of iodinated radiopaque contrast agents in patient with pheochromocytoma.
  • Iodinated contrast agents may promote sickling in individuals who are homozygous for sickle cell disease.
  • Severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) may develop from 1 hour to several weeks after intravascular contrast agent administration. These reactions include StevensJohnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Reaction severity may increase and time to onset may decrease with repeat administration of a contrast agent; prophylactic medications may not prevent or mitigate severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Avoid administering Optiray to patients with a history of a severe cutaneous adverse reaction to Optiray.

Adverse Reactions 

  • The most common reaction is nausea, occurring at a rate of 1 percent.
  • Serious adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of Optiray. These serious adverse reactions include but are not limited to: anaphylactic reactions, arrhythmias, temporary blindness, tongue edema, seizures, respiratory arrest, bronchospasm, laryngeal spasm and thrombosis.

Use in Specific Populations 

  • Pregnancy: Postmarketing data with Optiray use in pregnant women are insufficient to determine if there is a risk of drug-associated adverse developmental outcomes.
  • Lactation: There is no information about the presence of ioversol in human or animal milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant, or the effects of the drug on milk production. However, iodinated contrast agents are excreted unchanged in human milk in very low amounts with poor absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of the breastfed infant.
  • Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have been established for the use of Optiray 350 and Optiray 320 in angiocardiography; and for Optiray 320 in computed tomographic imaging of the head and body, and intravenous excretory urography. Safety and effectiveness of Optiray 240/300 have not been established in pediatric patients.
