Dotarem generic name?

What is the generic name of Dotarem?

Dotarem is the brand name for a gadolinium-based contrast agent used in MRI. Its generic name is gadoteric acid (also written as gadoterate acid) [1].

Is Dotarem the same as gadoterate (gadoteric acid)?

Yes. Dotarem contains gadoterate (gadoteric acid) as the active ingredient, which is why the “generic name” you’ll see is gadoterate acid / gadoteric acid [1].

If I see “gadoterate” vs “gadoteric acid,” is that a naming difference?

Those are naming variations for the same active substance used in Dotarem: gadoterate acid (sometimes written as gadoteric acid) [1].
