After Your IV Treatment
Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink plenty of water after your IV treatment to help maintain hydration levels and support the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Monitor the Injection Site: Keep an eye on the area where the IV was inserted. Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is common and should resolve within a few days. If you experience severe pain, persistent redness, swelling, or any signs of infection, contact your healthcare provider.
Avoid Intense Physical Activity: It’s generally recommended to avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as this can help prevent complications at the injection site and allow your body to fully absorb the nutrients.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how you feel after the treatment. It’s normal to feel a boost in energy or well-being, but if you experience any adverse reactions, such as dizziness, nausea, or unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
Follow Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations: Depending on the specific nutrients administered, your healthcare provider may suggest certain dietary or lifestyle changes to enhance the effects of the IV treatment. Follow these recommendations closely.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: It’s advisable to avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine intake for at least 24 hours post-treatment, as these substances can dehydrate your body and counteract the benefits of the IV therapy.
Protect Your Skin: If your treatment included antioxidants or nutrients aimed at improving skin health, protect your skin from excessive sun exposure by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing.
Schedule Follow-Up Appointments: Depending on your health goals and the specific IV treatment received, Dr. Porter may recommend a follow-up visit or additional sessions. Adhere to this schedule to achieve the best results.
