A double blind investigation comparing meglumine-Na diatrizoate (290 mg I/ml) and iohexol (300 mg I/ml) showed that patients receiving iohexol experienced significantly less discomfort. Patients who received diatrizoate commonly showed transient episodes of hypertension while those who received iohexol either showed no changes or transient episodes of hypotension. No significant changes in heart rate were observed in either group.
