6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Adverse Reactions in Adults The safety of iopamidol injection was evaluated in 2,246 adult patients receiving iopamidol injection by intra-arterial or intravenous route in clinical studies.

Table 4 shows the common adverse reactions (>1%).

6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of iopamidol injection.

Because the reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
