A study comparing two pretreatment protocols to prevent adverse reactions to iodinated radiocontrast media (IRCM) was performed in 45 adults patients. They followed inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pretreatment protocol A was within 12 hours before using the IRCM and pretreatment protocol B was for 72 hours before. A corticosteroid and two H2 receptor antagonists were given on both protocols. We managed these protocols by an aleatory way, so 22 patients received protocol A and 23 patients received protocol B. Excellent results were found in 63.6% and good results were found in 36.4% for protocol A. Excellent results were found in 78.2% and good results were found in 21.8% for protocol B. However, no statistically differences were detected for both protocols (p = 0.451).
