When this treatment may help
Fatigue or frequent infections can have many causes and do not establish vitamin C deficiency. Symptoms, nutrition, medical history and any targeted laboratory findings should be assessed before an infusion.
How the treatment works
Vitamin C is administered through a vein. The practice offers high-dose short infusions. Dose and frequency need a specific medical rationale rather than a general wellness promise.
What happens at your appointment
Contraindications and medicines are reviewed before treatment. If an infusion is agreed, a venous line is placed and administration is monitored. The response to intolerance is discussed as well.
What you can expect
A confirmed deficiency is different from seeking a general immune boost. Prevention of frequent illness or treatment of depression is not promised here. The intended benefit must match the clinical indication.
Limitations and possible risks
Kidney disease, a tendency to kidney stones, iron overload and G6PD deficiency are important risk factors. Venous access adds its own risks. High-dose infusions are not a harmless substitute for normal nutrition.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring recent blood tests and your medicine and supplement list. First discuss whether oral intake would be sufficient. Before a course, agree on the indication, duration, cost and an assessable treatment goal.
Costs and insurance
The practice accepts all public health insurances and offers private treatment. This does not mean every individual service is covered. The scope, possible personal costs and follow-up are discussed before starting.
