Post Treatment

Downtime:0 days

Post-care:After an IV Drips Garlic treatment, apply pressure to the injection site for a few minutes and keep a bandage on for at least one hour. To minimize discomfort or swelling, use warm packs and elevate your arm. It's also advised to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity for a few hours, and refrain from alcohol for the rest of the day to support recovery and optimal treatment effectiveness.

Risks:Potential side effects include garlic odor on breath/skin, vein irritation or phlebitis at the injection site, mild gastrointestinal upset (e.g., nausea), and rare allergic reactions. Garlic has mild blood-thinning properties, potentially increasing bleeding risk, especially if on anticoagulants. May lower blood pressure. Potential interactions with medications (e.g., anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, saquinavir). Lacks robust scientific evidence for many claimed benefits and IV safety; not considered a standard medical treatment.
