User Medicine Opinions for Radiological Ionic Contrast Media

Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 47 Location: Washington, Pennsylvania Time Taken: 1 days Reason: Pelvic CT Scan Date: 12 July 2008 Side Effects Swollen Mouth and Tongue / Dizziness/Faint Additional Thoughts The instructions from my doctor did not mention that I would be injected with a contrast medium. What the instructions said was that I had to drink a contrast medium 2 hours before the test. The instructions also said that I may be asked to drink 16 ounces more when I got to the hospital. When I went back for the actual CT Scan was the first time I was told that I was going to be injected with the medium.
