25% rocks, I’ve had more problems with the bulk of 10% being the cause. Plus
with those very sensitive patients, I can inject .5 ml of 25% and get a great
FA with the HRA.
Thank You,

Subject: [optimal] fluorescein reactions? 10% vs 25%
I use AKORN 25% and have no problems with nausea unless the room is very warm
and the patient is African-American or Indian. Dark or light FlSd makes no
difference.
10% slower injection I use only very occasionally when I have to shoot lots of
peripheral shoots (BDR) on both eyes.
If you inject 5cc very fast you will get nausea almost every time, just my
opinion after my 45 years of experience with this stuff.
Time to retire ….
Thank you friends

Anecdotally, our incident of reaction is too low to statistically track. We
almost never see nausea either.
Personally, I’m convinced it speaks to volume of solution, and/or good patient
management.

just an unscientific survey please
which has less reactions? 10% or 25% fluorescein?
I'm guessing that I have about one patient everyother year will have more than
just nausea. And its been about four years since I've called an ambulance for
a reaction.
And only a few per year that will be more than just nauseated, but full out
vomiting. (those aren't fun)
Just curious.
