Post Treatment

Downtime:0 days
Post-care:Adequate hydration is crucial after IV Vitamin C to support nutrient absorption, flush toxins, and reduce the risk of oxalate kidney stones. Patients should also rest, avoid strenuous activity for a few hours, and monitor the injection site for any unusual swelling or redness, contacting their healthcare provider with concerns.
Risks:Pain, irritation, or swelling at injection site; fluid overload (especially with kidney/heart conditions); false high blood sugar readings on certain glucose meters; increased risk of oxalate kidney stones (especially if predisposed or with impaired kidney function); hemolysis in individuals with G6PD deficiency (screening is crucial); electrolyte imbalances; lightheadedness or dizziness (if infusion is too rapid); nausea or upset stomach.
