Methiodal is an iodinated contrast agent that was formerly used for radiographic imaging procedures, particularly urography and myelography. It is a water-soluble derivative of iodinated aromatic compounds. Due to the development of safer and less toxic contrast agents, methiodal is no longer in clinical use and is considered obsolete.
No published original pharmacokinetic studies with detailed parameters for methiodal in humans have been identified. The following are estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for a typical adult, based on general properties of older iodinated contrast agents and analogous substances.
