I'm scheduled to have a CT scan with Iopamidol 61% SDV Inj, 30ml. I've heard this is a common contrast dye but I wanted to know more about what to expect. Should I worry about any side effects, and if I experience them, how do I determine if they're severe enough for medical help? Are there any steps I can take to minimize the risk of side effects? I also heard it might be a bit uncomfortable when being administered; how can I prepare for that? Thanks to anyone who can share their experiences or insights!

I recently had a CT scan and was given Iopamidol 61% Sdv Inj, 15ml. I was a bit nervous going into it, but the actual injection seemed to go fine. After the scan, I felt quite warm and a bit dizzy. I didn't have any severe side effects, but I'm curious if anyone else has had similar experiences? Can anyone share their experience — even if it was mild? It would be great to know if this is fairly common.
