A member asked:
I need a heart cath but am very allergic to the dye they use and am sensitive to a lot of meds any suggestions as to what i can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergist: Evaluation prior to the procedure, those reactions are uncommon those days because of the new radiocontrast media they use, anyways, it isn't a true allergic reaction, rather a side effect, and there are protocols to avoid such side effect involving taking medicines at certain hours before the cath or any radiography with contrast, check aaaai.org or acaai.org for an allergist in your area
