Risks of IV vitamin therapy

IV vitamin therapyinvolves certain risks that patients should consider. One risk is hypervitaminosis, where an overdose of vitamins or minerals in the infusion can lead to toxicity, causing symptoms ranging from nausea and vomiting to more severe complications like liver damage or neurological effects. There’s also the risk of septicemia, a serious blood infection that can occur if non-sterile equipment is used, leading to life-threatening conditions. Incorrect IV insertion might result in nerve injury, causing lasting damage or numbness. Additionally, some patients may experience adverse reactions to preservatives or stabilizers in the IV solution. To ensure safety, IV vitamin therapy should only be administered by experienced healthcare professionals in a controlled environment with rigorous sterilization practices.
