I will have a CT scan with contrast dye. Is contrast dye safe?

Contrast dye used in CT scans is generally safe but carries some risks, including allergic reactions and potential kidney or thyroid issues. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
It is safe unless one has a severe allergy to Iodine or fish. Many contrast agents are iodine based. Patients can be premedicated to prevent adverse reactions.
