Many clinical contexts require radiological exams based on contrast media administration. Iodinated contrast media (ICM) represents one of the most studied contrast agents often used in radiological examinations.

Therefore, a basic understanding of ARs occurrence, risk factors, clinical features, and management of ICM is increasingly important in clinical practice. Iopromide is a nonionic ICM widely used in clinical practice due to its favourable safety profile and numerous applications. This narrative review provides a comprehensive report of the available data concerning iopromide ARs. It also analyses iopromide ARs occurrence and frequency with diverse potential risk factors such as age, sex and pre-existing conditions.
