Do I need a prescription for Myers' Cocktail?

Will Myers' Cocktail interact with my medications?

Most Myers' Cocktail protocols are safe with common medications, but always tell us about everything you take during your health intake. Specific interactions worth flagging: chemotherapy, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, lithium. Always disclose these.

Can I get Myers' Cocktail during pregnancy?

Some protocols are safe in pregnancy with OB clearance; many are not. We will not perform any IV therapy on a pregnant patient without explicit clearance from the prescribing OB/GYN.

How often should I get Myers' Cocktail?

Frequency depends on your goal. Maintenance protocols are typically every 2–4 weeks. Acute use (illness, post-race, post-flight) is one-off. Loading protocols (e.g. NAD+) are clustered over 1–2 weeks then maintained.

Will I feel Myers' Cocktail working immediately?

Many clients report effects during or right after the drip — clearer head, more energy, hydrated feeling. Some effects (especially longevity-focused ones) take days or sessions to compound.

What should I do before a Myers' Cocktail session?

Hydrate normally. Eat a normal meal. Don't fast — we'd rather have you well-fueled. Bring your phone or a book; you'll have 30+ minutes to relax.

What should I do after a Myers' Cocktail session?

Continue hydrating with water and electrolytes. Most clients return to normal activity immediately; some prefer to take it easy for an hour or two.

Can I work out after Myers' Cocktail?

Yes, in most cases. For high-volume hydration drips, give it 1–2 hours so you're not running to the bathroom mid-workout. For NAD+ loading sessions, take the rest of the day easy.

Does Myers' Cocktail have side effects?

Most clients have no side effects. The most common are mild: cool sensation at the IV site, brief flushing from B-complex, magnesium-related warm feeling. Serious adverse events are rare and managed in-clinic.

How do I prepare if I'm afraid of needles?

Tell us. Our staff is experienced with needle-anxious clients. Most people are surprised how minor the actual stick is — and once the IV is in, you don't feel anything for the rest of the session.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes. Many clients bring a partner, friend, or family member, especially for first visits. There's seating in the drip room.

Is Myers' Cocktail covered by insurance?

IV vitamin therapy is generally not covered by insurance — it's elective and falls outside standard medical coverage. Some clients use HSA or FSA cards, depending on plan rules.
