Interaction

Beta blocking agents

at least one of
Epilepsy
Status epilepticus
Malignant neoplasms of eye, brain and other parts of central nervous system

Pregnancy

For gadopentetic acid, dimeglumine no clinical study data on exposed pregnancies are available. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to embryonal/foetal development.

Nursing mothers

No data exist concerning intra-articular administration in lactating women. After intravascular use minimal amounts of gadopentetic acid, dimeglumine salt (a maximum of 0.04%) of the intravenously administered dose enters the breast milk. From experience gained so far, harm to the breast-fed infant is considered unlikely.

Effects on ability to drive and use machines

No effects of gadopentetic acid on driving ability and use of machinery can be expected. However, joint effusion may affect the ability to drive due to a limited joint mobility.

Cross-check medications
