Gadodiamide is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent. Contrast agents are used to help create a clear picture of the body during MRI scans. MRI scans are a special kind of diagnostic procedure. They use magnets and computers to create images or “pictures” of certain areas inside the body. Unlike x-rays, they do not involve ionizing radiation. Gadodiamide is a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA).

Gadodiamide is given by injection before MRI to help diagnose problems in the brain, spine, chest, stomach, hip area, and other parts of your body.

Gadodiamide is to be used only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor.

Tacrolimus weakens your body's immune system, to help keep it from "rejecting" a transplanted organ such as a kidney. Organ rejection happens when the immune system treats the new organ as an invader and attacks it.

Tacrolimus is used together with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting a heart, liver, or kidney transplant.

Tacrolimus may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
