I had a ct of the abdomen with iv contrast 12 years ago and didnt have any allergic reaction to the dye then. is it safe to say i will tolerate it well now getting one 12 years later? no known allergies, just seasonal. on daily pepcid & zyrtec?

You shouldn't have a problem. The reaction would be expected the first & every time if your system was sensitive to it. We never say never, but chances of a problem are minimal. The radiologist would generally plan ahead and always be ready for a reaction anyway.

I took Tylenol extra strength and zyrtec this morning due to allergies. Had some inflammation so I switched to asprin and am now taking pepcid ac for acid reflux. Just curious if it is okay to take all of these in the same day for my issues today?
I take zyrtec everyday for sinus issues, and lately taken tylenol for head/body aches (had the flu) , but in a month I have probably taken 20 or so. Sometimes I take pepcid ac as well. Could this cause liver issues? Is Tylenol/Zeytrc too much?
I was recently dx small hiatal hernia Abd&Pelvic CT w contrast. No other findings. I noticed 30 min after I eat, I get all flushed and weird feeling, with gurling tummy. Esophageal stricture? Or duodenal ulcer? I'm on pepcid and Florestore probiotic?
I recently had an allergic reaction to a new detergent, resulting in a rash on my back, chest, and arms. Cortisone cream seemed to work, but I still have a small lingering rash. I was wondering if pepcid with loratadine or zyrtec/allegra would work?
