Myers’ Cocktail IV

Quick Intro

VEI Clinic Apgujeong is an English-friendly internal-medicine clinic in Gangnam offering same-day IV therapy with doctor oversight.

What Is a Myers’ Cocktail IV?

“Myers’ Cocktail” is a clinic-formulated IV that typically includes magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C in IV fluids. The exact mix and dose are individualized after a brief medical check. It’s considered supportive care—not a cure for illness.

Who It May Help (Common Reasons People Ask)

• Feeling run-down after travel or heavy work weeks
• Post-illness recovery when oral intake has been low
• Seeking short-term hydration + nutrient support alongside healthy sleep, nutrition, and stress management

Evidence & Expectations (Read Before You Book)

• Evidence is limited. Authoritative reviews note very few high-quality trials for IV vitamin blends (including Myers’) in people without a deficiency; most claims are anecdotal.
• A placebo-controlled pilot in fibromyalgia found no significant benefit vs. placebo, though many participants felt better than at baseline—highlighting uncertainty about the true effect.

Bottom line: Some people report feeling better after IV hydration and nutrients, but results vary, and this is not a treatment for serious disease. We’ll set realistic expectations and prioritize safety.

Safety First

Tell the doctor if you have kidney, heart, or liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, G6PD deficiency, hemochromatosis/iron overload, a history of kidney stones, or if you’re pregnant/breastfeeding. High-dose vitamin C can raise oxalate and has caused oxalate nephropathy in vulnerable patients; G6PD deficiency is a known risk for hemolysis at higher doses. Your clinician will screen and dose conservatively.

Possible mild effects: brief chill/flush, metallic taste, vein irritation or a small bruise. Seek urgent care for persistent dizziness, chest pain, or breathing difficulty.

Visit Flow (Typically 60–90 Minutes)

• Check-in & history → symptoms, goals, meds, allergies.
• Focused exam → vitals; tests if needed.
• Plan & consent → candidacy confirmed, components/dose selected, transparent pricing reviewed.
• IV session → 30–60 minutes in a comfortable room with monitoring.
• Discharge guidance → simple aftercare instructions in clear English; follow-up as needed.

Aftercare Tips

• Hydrate (water or oral rehydration) for 24 hours.
• Eat a light, balanced meal (protein + complex carbs + produce).
• Rest the same day; resume normal activity once you feel steady.
• Follow up if symptoms persist or worsen.

What to Bring

• Medication & allergy list
• Symptom/goal timeline (onset, triggers, what you’ve tried)
• Any recent labs/test results (if available)
