IV vitamins

[Olddaddy]

My boyfriend a few days ago went and had this IV vitamins because he said he was fatigued ,he is half my age so I was a bit angry with him 

Anyway he went and got the IV vitamins here in Pattaya and swears it has made a difference!

Whether it's mind over matter who knows.

He got the "hangover" IV therapy from top clinic in the Mike's shopping mall 

Cost I think was 1800 baht , it seems to be just vitamin B group they inject ,but I didn't tell him 

Can't really see how it makes much difference 

I prefer my daily vitamins 😀

When I got my Dengue vaccine in Bali, that was one of the services they offered....just rehydrates you is what the dr said...between drinking and sweating in the heat, people don't stay hydrated enough.

I believe Pulse Clinic on Silom offers IV but probably any hospital will, also.

There are no real scientific studies (randomized clinical trials) which show efficacy of IV vitamins to improve fatigue and/or hangovers. The fact that someone "swore they felt better" after such a treatment isn't evidence of anything. Qdenga is probably safe and effective, but there have been some concerns, which should hopefully be resolved fairly soon.

"...Qdenga received approval for use in the European Union in 2022 for people aged 4 and above,[45][46][47] and is also approved in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, and Thailand. Takeda voluntarily withdrew their application for the vaccination's approval in the United States in July 2023 after the FDA sought further data from the firm, which the company stated could not be provided during the current review cycle...".
