What goes in each one, why people ask for it, what you may feel during the session and — the part these sites usually leave out — when I will not go ahead.
One liter of fluid with electrolytes, and nothing else. The simplest of them all, and the one with the least that can go wrong.
High-dose vitamin C and B-complex in 1000 mL of fluid. The one people ask for most when the seasons turn.
The classic formula, put together in the 1970s by Dr. John Myers. Vitamin C, B-complex and magnesium in one infusion.
For when gastroenteritis has gone past the point of coping: nausea that will not let you drink, and a body losing fluid faster than it takes it in.
The lightest of the vitamin drips: B12 and vitamin C with fluids. No magnesium, no medication, a short session.
It is the same whichever drip you choose. The clinical part does not change just because it happens at your place.
I go through your form with you — allergies, medication, illness, pregnancy. I check blood pressure, pulse, oxygen and temperature. If something does not add up, we stop there and I explain why.
Cannulation with sterile single-use equipment. I stay with you from start to finish, watching how you are and adjusting the rate. You can stop at any point, no reason needed.
I remove the cannula, apply pressure and stay a few more minutes. I tell you what may show up over the next hours and what to do about it. I stay reachable for the rest of the day.
