Yes. It is often refrigerated to make it more palatable.
It's a Barium Sulfate Suspension (BaSO4).
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours after drinking alcohol before taking Barium Sulfate oral suspension to avoid any potential interactions. Alcohol can affect the absorption and efficacy of the medication, so it is best to refrain from alcohol consumption for a day before and after taking the oral suspension.
Barium sulfate enema is administered by inserting a tube into the rectum and then slowly injecting the barium sulfate suspension into the colon. The patient may need to move into various positions to ensure the entire colon is coated with the contrast material for an accurate radiographic exam.
If you are allergic to sulfur, you should not take barium sulfate. Barium sulfate contains sulfate, which is a compound containing sulfur. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about your sulfur allergy before any medical procedure involving barium sulfate.
To isolate the barium sulfate, you would first filter the mixture to separate the solid barium sulfate from the remaining solution of sodium chloride. The collected barium sulfate can then be washed with distilled water to remove any impurities before drying it in an oven to obtain the pure compound.
They didn't allow me to proceed with my barium swallow. They said that people who are allergic to dyes, iodine, or shellfish may also be allergic to barium so to be safe they didn't let me do it.
You shouldn't be taking a Barium sulfate suspension unless you're about to have a medical scan. It you're taking this regularly, you need to speak to your doctor. If you are only taking it once (like is normally done before a scan), and you are concerned, you can save up breast milk to use the day after, and then should be able to breast feed again after it has cleared your system without concern. In either case, you should talk to your doctor.

The substance can't be dissociated into solution. Example: barium sulfate BaSO4 is insoluable allowing paitents to drink it before cat scans without worrying that toxic soulible barium will kill them. Table salt NaCl is soulible because it dissociates in solution.
First of all, I have to question why you would want to drink BaSO4. If it's for use as a contrasting agent, then that would make sense, but it is not wise to drink pure barium sulfate, as it is only liquid between 1580 and 1600 degrees celcius. Mix some BaSO4 powder with some form of sweetened drink if you have to drink it. If you are not using it as a contrast agent, then why on earth are you trying to drink a potentially toxic substance?
Doxycycline suspension (pharmacy probably added water to the powder and you must shake it each time before using it) is stored at room temperature.
No, creamer does not have to be refrigerated before it is opened, but it should be refrigerated after opening to maintain its freshness and quality.
