What is Gastrografin and how is it used?
Gastrografin is a water-soluble, radiopaque contrast agent with a lemon flavor. It is used during diagnostic imaging procedures—such as X-rays or CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis—to coat the gastrointestinal tract and provide clearer visualization of internal structures. It is taken as an oral solution. Your doctor will provide specific dosing instructions and may advise on fluid intake before and after administration to prevent dehydration. It's important to inform all your healthcare providers that you have taken this contrast agent, as it can affect certain lab test results. Discuss the use of Gastrografin with your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
