In 34 years of angiography, all of them 25% for the last 20 years, a couple of
instances of vomiting a year, a couple of incidences of hives. No greater
severity of reaction. STATS too low to track per hospital Q&A. Never called
an ambulance, once or twice had people faint on me enough to call the attending
physician, never 911.
I don't personally think the percentage is the issue...

I have used both over the past decade or so, and, anecdotally, would say the
10% had a higher incidence of mild reaction (syncope, nausea)
That being said, i used the 10% in a "normal" retinal practice patient
population, and the 25% in an oncology practice. Different people, different
problems, but the oncology patients have a bit more to concern themselves with
over just an injection of sodium fluorescein.
