Myers Cocktail
Post-CARE Instructions
1. Hydration and Diet:
Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated helps your body process and benefit from the infusion. Aim for extra fluids over the next 24 hours to support nutrient absorption.
Eat a Balanced Meal: A meal with lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates after the IV can help stabilize blood sugar and keep your energy up.
2. Possible Side Effects:
Mild Bruising or Tenderness at Injection Site: Minor bruising, tenderness, or slight swelling at the IV site is normal. This should resolve within a few days.
Fatigue or Upset Stomach: Some people experience mild fatigue, nausea, or light-headedness following the infusion, but this typically passes quickly.
Alert for Unusual Symptoms: Contact your healthcare provider if you experience severe pain, a rash, fever, or swelling that spreads from the injection site, as these could indicate an infection or an allergic reaction.
3. Rest and Activity:
Rest if Needed: While many feel energized after a Myers’ IV, some may feel temporarily fatigued. Listen to your body and rest if you need to.
Resume Normal Activities: Most people can go about their regular routine immediately after the infusion. Avoid intense physical activity if you feel fatigued.
4. Limit Stimulants and Alcohol:
Avoid Alcohol for 24 Hours: Alcohol can interfere with the absorption of the nutrients from the IV and may increase dehydration.
Limit Caffeine: Caffeine can act as a diuretic, which may reduce the hydration benefits of the IV. If you need caffeine, keep intake moderate.
5. Monitor for Wellness Effects:
Track How You Feel Over the Next Few Days: You may notice benefits like increased energy, improved mood, or enhanced mental clarity. Note these effects, especially if Myers’ IV therapy is part of a broader wellness plan.
6. Follow-up Appointments:
Adhere to Recommended Frequency: Myers’ IV therapy can be done regularly, so follow the schedule your provider suggests for optimal benefits.
7. Contact Your Provider if Needed:
Seek Advice for Persistent Symptoms: If you experience prolonged fatigue, nausea, or any unusual symptoms, reach out to your healthcare provider for advice.
