E-Z-DISK™
(BARIUM SULFATE TABLETS)
700 MG
DESCRIPTION
E-Z-DISK™ is an oral solid radiographic contrast agent. Each tablet
contains 700 mg of
barium sulfate and is ½ inch in diameter. The active ingredient is
barium sulfate and its
structural formula is BaSO . Barium sulfate occurs as a fine, white,
odorless, tasteless,
bulky powder which is free from grittiness. Its aqueous suspensions
are neutral to
litmus. It is practically insoluble in water, solutions of acids and
alkalies, and organic
solvents.
EACH TABLET CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: magnesium
stearate,
microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, corn starch, croscarmellose
sodium and
confectioner’s sugar.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
E-Z-DISK is indicated for use in radiography of the esophagus, for
detection of
esophageal strictures.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Barium sulfate, due to its high molecular density is opaque to x-rays
and therefore acts
as a positive contrast agent for radiographic studies. Barium sulfate
is biologically inert
and therefore is not absorbed or metabolized by the body, and is
eliminated unchanged
from the body.
ABSORPTION AND METABOLISM
E-Z-DISK tablets disintegrate within 30 minutes after ingestion, and
the fragments are
eliminated with the feces without absorption of the barium sulfate. A
brief delay in transit
may sometimes be seen in elderly patients, particularly above the
hiatus, or at the level
of the aortic arch. In such instances, a sip of water is sufficient to
carry the tablet down
the esophagus.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Barium sulfate products for radiographic procedures should not be used
in patients with
4
known gastric or intestinal perforation or hypersensitivity to barium
sulfate formulations.
WARNINGS
