Risks of IV Vitamin Therapy

Understanding the Risks

IV vitamin therapy, popular for boosting energy, immunity, and skin health, delivers nutrients directly into the bloodstream. While effective, it carries potential risks. At Luxury Wellness Restoration Med Spa in Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch, our team, led by Anastasha Blackburn, APRN, and Medical Director Dr. Jonathan Dreier, MD, minimizes these risks through sterile practices and personalized care. Learn about the risks below and how we ensure your safety.

Potential Risks

  1. Infection
    IV insertion creates a skin opening, risking bacterial entry if not done in a sterile environment. Our trained professionals use sterile equipment and maintain a clean setting to minimize infection risk. Watch for symptoms like fever, chills, or redness at the injection site and contact us if they occur.

  2. Allergic Reactions
    Some individuals may be sensitive or allergic to vitamins or minerals, causing itching, hives, or difficulty breathing. We review your medical history, including allergies and medications, during consultation to prevent reactions.

  3. IV-Related Complications
    Risks include bleeding, bruising, swelling, or, rarely, vein collapse at the injection site. Our skilled team monitors you closely to reduce these risks. Seek immediate medical attention for persistent pain, swelling, or breathing difficulties post-treatment.

Safety and Considerations

Our certified providers ensure safe administration of IV therapies, such as Myer’s Cocktail, Beauty Drip, or Performance Hydration, in a sterile, ocean-inspired environment. A thorough consultation assesses your suitability to avoid complications.
