Iocarmic acid (trade name Dimer-X) is a pharmaceutical drug used as an iodinated contrast medium for X-ray imaging in the 1970s and 80s. Uses included imaging of the uterus and fallopian tubes. It was applied in form of its salt, meglumine iocarmate.[1][2]

It is not known to be marketed anywhere in the world in 2021.
