Ioversol is injected into a vein or artery through an IV. A healthcare provider will give you this injection.

Drink extra fluids before and after your radiologic test. Ioversol can cause you to get dehydrated, which can lead to dangerous effects on your kidneys. Follow your doctor's instructions about the types and amount of fluids you should drink before and after your test.

Older adults may need special care to avoid becoming dehydrated. Your kidney function may need to be checked after you have received ioversol.

Tell your caregivers if you feel any burning, pain, or swelling around the IV needle when ioversol is injected.

Some people receiving ioversol have had reactions that did not start until 30 to 60 minutes after the medicine was first given. Your caregivers may want to watch you during this period of time after your injection. This is to make sure you do not have any unwanted side effects or delayed reactions.

Ioversol can cause unusual results with certain medical tests for up to 16 days after you receive this medicine. Tell any doctor who treats you that have recently received ioversol.
