There is 1 disease interaction with Oragrafin Sodium (ipodate).

Moderate

Iodinated contrast media (applies to Oragrafin Sodium) asthma/allergies

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.

Iodinated contrast media such as ioversol, can cause life-threatening or fatal hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock. Manifestations include respiratory arrest, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, angioedema, and shock. Most severe reactions develop shortly after the start of the injection (e.g. within 1 to 3 minutes), but delayed reactions may occur. There is an increased risk in patients with a history of a previous reaction to contrast agent, and known allergies (i.e., bronchial asthma, drug, or food allergies), and other hypersensitivities. Caution is advised on these patients. Premedication with antihistamines or corticosteroids to avoid or minimize possible allergic reactions may reduce both their incidence and severity.
