A member asked:
I'm allergic to ct scan dye . what meds should i avoid ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: The reaction is from the structure of the dye and not the iodine content. Low-molecular dye has a much lower frequency of allergic reaction even though it contains about the same amount of iodine.
