When it is not given
It is not given with kidney or heart disease, clotting disorders, an allergy to any component, G6PD deficiency, an active infection, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or to anyone under 18. That is why the health form is required: if anything makes the session unsafe, I tell you beforehand and we do not go ahead, even if it is already booked.
This drip contains medication: it is only given with a medical prescription, after the assessment on site.
Because it contains an anti-inflammatory, it is also not given if you have a stomach ulcer, asthma or an allergy to anti-inflammatories, take blood thinners, have kidney disease, took an anti-inflammatory in the last 24 hours or have a fever.
