Gastrografin Therapeutic Effect
Gastrografin is a radiopaque contrast medium, meaning it contains substances that are visible on X-ray and other imaging studies. When introduced into the body, it enhances the visibility of certain organs, structures, or passages during imaging procedures.
While gastrografin's primary function is as a diagnostic tool, in some cases, it may also have a therapeutic effect. For example, in certain instances of small bowel obstruction, the administration of gastrografin can help identify whether the obstruction is complete (where the contrast doesn't pass through) or partial (where the contrast passes through the blocked area). In some partial obstructions, the contrast may help to dislodge the obstruction or aid in its resolution.
