WHAT ABLAVAR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ablavar is an injectable contrast medium for making a diagnostic image
of the body's blood vessels in
the abdomen or limb clearer. It is for use in adults only.
Ablavar is for diagnostic use only. It is used to help detect changes
in the blood vessels which are
known or suspected to be abnormal. The diagnosis can be made with
greater accuracy than without
using this medicine.
This medicine, a contrast agent with magnetic properties, helps to
visualise the passage of blood
through the vessels by brightening the blood for an extended period.
This medicine is used together
with an imaging technique called magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
If you have any questions or are not sure about something, ask the
doctor or MRI-centre personnel.
