Who Should Not Have IV Vitamin Therapy?

Understanding IV Vitamin Therapy

IV vitamin therapy delivers vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for rapid absorption. Popular for boosting energy, supporting immunity, and enhancing wellness, treatments like energy boost IV or beauty infusions are offered at Luxury Wellness Restoration Med Spa in Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch. However, this therapy is not suitable for everyone. Below, we outline contraindications and risks to help you make an informed decision.

Who Should Avoid IV Vitamin Therapy?

Consult a healthcare provider before starting IV therapy, especially if you have the following conditions or circumstances:

  1. Kidney or Liver Conditions
    High doses of vitamins and minerals can strain kidneys and liver, potentially causing toxicity or worsening existing conditions.

  2. Heart Conditions
    Individuals with heart issues, such as congestive heart failure, risk fluid overload or electrolyte imbalances from rapid fluid infusion, which may lead to serious complications.

  3. Allergies or Sensitivities
    Those with allergies to specific vitamins, minerals, or components in IV formulations, or conditions like mast cell activation syndrome, may experience allergic reactions.

  4. Blood Clotting Disorders
    Patients with disorders like hemophilia or von Willebrand disease face risks of excessive bleeding from IV needle insertion.

  5. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding
    Excessive nutrient doses may harm mother or baby. Safety during pregnancy and lactation is not well-established, so consult your provider.

  6. Children or Elderly Individuals
    These groups may have unique nutrient needs or reduced ability to metabolize/excrete substances, increasing the risk of side effects.

Safety and Considerations

IV vitamin therapy is generally safe when administered by professionals like our team, led by Anastasha Blackburn, APRN, and Medical Director Dr. Jonathan Dreier, MD. However, potential risks include infection, bleeding, or allergic reactions. A thorough consultation ensures suitability and safety.
