I'm scheduled to get an MRI with Elucirem 3.75mmol/7.5ml Inj for the first time and I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects. Has anyone else used this dye and had severe reactions? The list of urgent side effects looks scary—especially the allergic reactions and kidney problems. How does the injection site irritation usually present? I've heard from a friend that Elucirem can cause more than just warmth or coldness at the injection site, but I’m not sure what to believe. Also, I’m curious about the reporting process if something goes wrong; does anyone have experience reporting side effects to the FDA through MedWatch?
