Iophendylate: radiocontrast agent for myelography
Iophendylate is an iodinated radiocontrast agent that is sometimes used to contrast the spinal canal during myelography. Myelography is a method for diagnosing diseases of the spinal cord and nerve roots, which allows you to obtain X-ray images with contrast filling of the spinal canal.
Iofendylate is introduced into the body through a lumbar puncture, which is performed under local anesthesia. After the administration of iofendylate, an x-ray of the spinal canal is taken, which allows us to identify the presence of tumors, cysts, disc herniations and other pathological changes.
However, like any radiopaque contrast agent, iofendylate may cause side effects. In some cases, an allergic reaction may occur, and headache, nausea and vomiting may also occur.
In addition, it is worth noting that the use of iofendylate for myelography is gradually declining due to the development of more advanced diagnostic techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT).
Despite this, iofendylate continues to be used in some cases where MRI or CT cannot be performed for some reason.
In addition to radiology, iodine-containing compounds, including iofendylate, can be used in other areas of medicine. For example, iodine is used to treat hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid gland).
Yohimbine: a drug used to treat disorders
Yohimbine is an alkaloid that has a sympatholytic effect on the human body. It causes dilation of blood vessels in the kidneys, intestines, and genitals, helps lower blood pressure, and also reduces agitation and anxiety.
Yohimbine is used to treat certain physical and psychological disorders. For example, it can be used to treat impotence as it helps increase blood flow to the genitals. Yohimbine can also be used to treat depression and anxiety disorders.
However, like other medications, yohimbine can cause side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, dizziness, increased heart rate, and high blood pressure.
In addition, yohimbine has a number of contraindications, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma and liver failure. Therefore, before using yohimbine, you should consult your doctor and strictly follow the dosage and recommendations for use.
In general, iofendylate and yohimbine are two different drugs intended for different purposes. Iofendylate is used in radiology for contrast examination of the spinal canal, and yohimbine is used to treat certain physical and psychological disorders. Both drugs have side effects and contraindications, so their use should be discussed with a doctor.
Iofendylate: radiopaque iodine-containing compound.
In radiography, iofendylate is used to contrast the spinal canal. It is inserted using a lumbar puncture, which allows for a clearer image on an x-ray.
YOHIMBINE: an alkaloid with sympathomimetic effects.
Yohimbine, an alkaloid from the Kratom plant, has sympatholytic effects on the body. Causes dilation of blood vessels in the kidneys, intestines and genitals, lowers blood pressure, reduces agitation and anxiety.
Used to treat physical and mental disorders such as impotence. Stimulates male potency.
Thus, iofendylate and yohimbine are important drugs for medical use in radiography and medicine.
Iofendylate is a radiopaque drug used for spinal column examinations and tomography. It contains iodine, which is the element that provides its radiopaque properties.
Iofendylate is introduced into the patient's body through a lumbar puncture. This method involves the use of a needle that is inserted through the skin
