A member asked:

Can you be allergic to optiray, or are there any cross reactions with other allergies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kind of: You have a small chance of having an allergic type of reaction to contrast agents. It is not a true allergy but can act in a similar manner. From mild to serious. People with multiple allergies tend to have the highest risk for a serious reaction from a contrast agent. There are no specific"cross" allergies.
