Discussions tagged “ct scans”

Just got an Omnipaque 300mg/ml injection for a CT scan. The doctor mentioned some serious side effects to watch out for, which got me a little worried. I've heard stories, so I want to know: What’s the worst that could happen? I am also curious to know if anyone here has experienced any side effects from this dye? I’m particularly interested in hearing about any rare or severe reactions. Also, any tips on what to do if you experience a reaction? How common are these side effects, and should I be worried? I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with the liquid formulation — did you have any issues with swelling? It’s all a bit overwhelming, but I want to be prepared.
