Iomeprol is a pharmaceutical drug used as a radiocontrast agent in X-ray imaging. It is sold under the trade names Imeron and Iomeron.[1][2]

It is classified as a water-soluble, nephrotrophic, low osmolar X-ray contrast medium.[1] Low osmolar non-ionic agents are better tolerated and less likely to cause side effects than the high osmolar ionic agents.[1]

The substance is not metabolized in the human body but excreted in unchanged form. It is decomposed slowly and can therefore accumulate in the environment.[3]
