I struggle to find iodine for injection all I can find is this which is usually used as contrast agent when performing computed tomography (CT) and such to get a better visual. The description states: Active ingredient: Ultravist (iopromide) 0.623 mg / ml (equivalent to 300 mg / ml of iodine). So I would be getting a hefty dose of iodine. And another brand called iohexol (Iohexolum), Tomogexol (yogexol),Tomoscan (iopamidol),Betadine , Triombrast etc.
Is there something I should be aware of? Do you need to prepare this blue liquid in a special way? I just need to get iodine. I think the contrast improvement on the image comes from the excess levels of iodine in the blood so I would not take this frequently. The only difference between this and regular iodine is this has much higher dose (I think) which produces its blue colour. Would injecting this into muscle or SUBQ cause extreme pain? a tiny percent of the iodine will be unbound and given that it is 300mg of iodine in there and rda is like 200 mcg I could be getting a few mg's enough to sustain myself.
Are there any other products with iodine bound to it?Does Ultravist contain iodine? I understand it is an iodinated contrast but once in the blood does the iodine separate from the contrast into individual iodine atoms and thus affect the body the same way iodine does from food? does it have the same tonicity of your plasma when making your own?
Does Ultravist contain iodine?
ANSWER: Yes, Ultravist contains iodine in the form of the active substance iopromid. It is iodine that allows Ultravist to be used as a contrast enhancer, as it blocks X-rays. [1]
Is iodine separated from the contrast into individual iodine atoms?
ANSWER: No, after administration, the active substance in Ultravist, iopromid, will be excreted almost exclusively from the body unchanged, ie the iodine atoms remain. [1] CAN YOU SEPERATE THEM BY MIXING AND DISSOLVING IN PURER WATER? If you dont use enough water for a solvent it wont dissolve all properly.
Does it affect the body in the same way that iodine does from food?
ANSWER: It is difficult to answer the question as we do not compare with Ultravist with iodine from food. You will find a complete list of side effects in section 4 of the Package Leaflet. Like all medicines, Ultravist can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. I package leaflet, you can e.g. read more about the most serious side effects, as well as how common the side effects are (including the non-serious ones), which are noted in connection with the use of Ultravist [1]. If you are undergoing treatment with Ultravist and are worried about any side effects, we recommend that you contact your healthcare provider for a discussion within the treatment.
we have different processes and regulations to deal with for handling questions from patients / users and healthcare professionals ..
I am a student who wants to become a biomedical researcher in healthcare and I have to work with this type of medicine. why do i keep touching my wound my sleep schedule likes certain times idk why but its 4-5am to around 1-2 PM stick for it the longest before move back to a more normal one as others

Organic agents which covalently bind the iodine have fewer side effects as they do not dissociate into component molecules. Many of the side effects are due to the hyperosmolar solution being injected. i.e. they deliver more iodine atoms per molecule. The more iodine, the more "dense" the X-ray effect.
Organic iodine molecules used for contrast include iohexol, iodixanol, and ioversol
