Omnipaque 350 Reviews
For Body Imaging "I had a CT done they used omnipaque 350 I've never been the same since. I have chronic headache, blurred vision, soreness and stiffness in my entire body, a feeling of dying, feeling of something bad going to happen, dizzy, my eyes has my vision jumping up and down, rapidly constantly crying, a feeling of dread, my bones hurt, muscles ache, stiffness and pain in my jaw. I wake with chronic headache and pounding heart beating rapidly and when I was able to sleep much insomnia had a horrible rash on my chest from neck to breast to shoulders now my records indicate that I am allergic to contrast dye"
For Head Imaging "I have Lymph Node Swelling of Neck so went in for a neck CT w/contrast using 100 cc of Omnipaque 350 intravenously. Felt immediate heat was fine. 48 hrs later, I woke up with lower back stiffness/pain. Then another 48 hrs, added to that the neck became stiff/painful. I thought it was all a bad mattress. Ibuprohen hardly helps with the stiffness/pain. Messaged the prescribing Dr. I haven't heard back yet. I'm hoping that this goes away! I will update as I get more info."
For Body Imaging "Had a precautionary CT scan on my chest several days after hip surgery and after experiencing some pain in my chest. The contrast agent used was Omnipaque 350. About 8 hours later when lying down in bed I felt itching on my back which persisted into the night. On inspection I could see that a hives type rash had formed between my shoulder blades. This gradually subsided over about 10 days. Note that the scan showed up a small infection for which I was prescribed a penicillin antibiotic. I took this about 3 hours before the rash appeared so my doctor changed the antibiotic as a precaution in case that caused the rash. I have never been allergic to penicillin so in my mind the Omnipaque remains the culprit"
For Angiocardiography "It has a very useful contrast while I am performing angiography"
