  • Title: Severe hypotension, bronchospasm, and urticaria from intravenous indigo carmine.
    Author: Naitoh J, Fox BM.
    Journal: Urology; 1994 Aug; 44(2):271-2. PubMed ID: 8048206.
    Abstract:
    Indigo carmine is generally believed to be a safe, biologically inert substance. Adverse reactions to the intravenous administration of this dye have been seen only rarely. We report a life-threatening anaphylactoid reaction to indigo carmine that may have been due to either a drug allergy or to its intrinsic serotonergic properties.
