Micropaque Suspension 1 g/ml or./rect. susp. 2 l

The application and dosage depend on the desired type of examination (e.g., repletion or double contrast).

Esophagus: Apply the solution undiluted.

Stomach and duodenum: To obtain an image of the mucosal relief, administer up to 50 ml of undiluted Micropaque Suspension. To observe gastric dilation and emptying, continue the treatment with 100 ml of Micropaque Suspension diluted with 100 ml of water. If this two-phase technique is not used, administer 150 ml of Micropaque Suspension diluted with 50 ml of water.

Small intestine: 100 ml Micropaque Suspension diluted with 150 ml water.

Colon: For contrast imaging of the filled colon, an enema with one part Micropaque Suspension and two parts water is recommended to achieve the required volume. For thin-layer contrast imaging, it is recommended to mix one to two parts Micropaque Suspension with one part water. A total volume of 400 ml is generally sufficient (the examination should not last longer than 15 minutes).

Elderly patients: No dosage adjustment is required for this patient population. However, special attention must be paid to the contraindications and warnings listed below.
