Quick tips
- Gadoray Solution for Injection must only be given by a doctor or trained radiologist before or during an MRI scan. It is used as a contrast agent to help get clearer imaging results.
- Tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, especially if you are on dialysis or have reduced kidney function.
- Stay still during and after receiving the Gadoray Solution for Injection if it is being administered inside the MRI scanner, as movement can affect image clarity and the effectiveness of the contrast.
- Alert your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms like trouble breathing, swelling, or itching, as these could be signs of an allergic reaction, which, although rare, can occur.
- Drink plenty of water after the scan, unless your doctor advises otherwise. This helps flush the contrast agent out of your body through urine, reducing any chance of retention or side effects.
