Ipodate (iopodic acid)
Ipodate (generic name: iopodic acid) is a iopodic acid drug developed by Bracco. It is currently FDA-approved (first approved 1962) for Diagnostic aid.
Iopodic acid (Ipodate), marketed by Bracco, is a diagnostic aid used for visualizing the thyroid gland during imaging procedures, competing in a class with several established alternatives such as iodoxamic acid, adipiodone, iopanoic acid, iocetamic acid, and tyropanoate. Its key strength lies in its mechanism of action, which allows for effective thyroid visualization, supported by a key composition patent expiring in 2028. The primary risk to Ipodate's market position is the presence of multiple same-class competitors, some of which have been on the market since the 1950s, potentially limiting its market share growth.
