WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF IV HYDRATION AND VITAMIN THERAPY

There are many benefits to IV vitamin therapy, especially for individuals who are vitamin deficient. Those benefits can include the reversal of vitamin deficiencies, which affect heart disease, fibromyalgia, diabetes, and even depression. However, when used to treat these conditions, the vitamin therapy must be customized to meet the individual’s needs. Many patients in Chelmsford also experience faster results from IV vitamin therapy when used to treat health conditions, or hangover and fatigue. However, as with any medication or drug, there are side effects.

These side effects are mitigated when you receive treatment from a physician-led team. For example, hospital personnel are well-trained and educated in starting IV’s and administering fluids. This reduces the risk of blood clots, infection, and trauma to the skin and tissues. Other side effects include nutrient overdose, which can occur when the nutrient mix has higher doses than are needed by the individual. Vitamin overdose can lead to a variety of adverse events, some of which can be dangerous. Finally, there are individuals who, for medical reasons, should not receive IV hydration and vitamin therapy. For example, people with kidney disease must strictly monitor their fluid intake. Extra fluid and vitamins can cause additional kidney damage so it must be avoided.
