The paper presents therapeutic procedures and actions in relieving anaphylactic reactions to the iodic contrast medium (ICM). On the basis of the author's personal experience and the literal data, the therapy (general reanimation and medicament application) for the anaphylactic reactions to the ICM (easy, medium-serious and serious reactions) is described. In the conclusion it is stressed that only a timely, professional and adequate intervention can be successful in relieving anaphylactic reactions to the ICM while the serious reactions that could have ended in a lethal way, can end in a favorable way by a proper and efficient treatment (that is why they are registered as serious ones).
