Frequently asked questions
- How does Oraltag work?
- Oraltag is a radiographic contrast agent. Radiographic contrast agents are imaging dyes, not treatments. They contain dense elements like iodine that absorb X-rays strongly, so the blood vessels or organs they fill show up bright and clearly outlined on an X-ray or CT scan.
- Is there a coupon or discount for Oraltag?
- pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Oraltag. To pay less, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether a generic equivalent exists, check the manufacturer's copay/savings card and patient-assistance program, and compare a pharmacy discount card against your insurance copay. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.
- Who makes Oraltag?
- Oraltag is marketed by Interpharma Praha As. You can see Interpharma Praha As's full profile, rating, and other products on pharmaranks.

- Oraltag is a brand-name product with the active ingredient Iohexol.
- Is Oraltag available over the counter?
- No. Oraltag is a prescription (Rx) medication in the US — you need a prescription from a licensed clinician (in person or via telehealth); it isn't sold over the counter. For some conditions there are OTC alternatives — ask your pharmacist.

What people report to the FDA about IOHEXOL
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 1,131 reports naming IOHEXOL — the active ingredient in Oraltag, and the FDA flagged 87% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- dyspnoea87 reports
- acute kidney injury86 reports
- anaphylactic reaction64 reports
- contrast media reaction62 reports
- nausea62 reports
- pruritus57 reports
- pyrexia54 reports
- rash52 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean IOHEXOL caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label.
