Iopamidol 41% Sdv Inj, 50ml is a contrast dye used in medical imaging procedures like CT scans and angiograms. It helps doctors get a clearer view of blood vessels and organs during these tests. While generally safe, it can have some serious side effects. I've been scheduled for a CT scan and the doctor mentioned this dye. I've heard it can cause allergic reactions and kidney problems. I'm pretty nervous about it. I have a friend who had a bad reaction to a contrast dye before. What are the chances of having a severe reaction to Iopamidol?

I recently had an angiogram, and the doctor used Omnipaque 300mg/ml for the X-ray. It was a bit intimidating to receive the injection, but the procedure went smoothly. The nurse was very reassuring. The dye made me feel a bit warm, but that was the extent of my side effects. I thought I'd share my experience and see if others had similar outcomes or any warnings to share. Anyone else had any experiences with this dye and what to expect?
