Myers Cocktail IV recovery, day by day
Right after your infusion
- Keep the small bandage on for about an hour. A little bruising at the IV site is normal and fades in a few days.
- Drink water through the rest of the day. Feeling relaxed, warm, or lightly flushed during and shortly after the drip is common and settles quickly.
- You can drive and return to your normal day unless your care team told you otherwise.
What you may notice
- Some people feel a boost the same day; for others it builds over a day or two.
- A vitamin taste or smell during the drip is normal and harmless.
Aftercare
- Keep up your water intake and eat normally.
- If the IV site becomes red, warm, or swollen rather than just lightly bruised, call the clinic.
- Ask your care team about the right schedule for your goals; many drips work best as a series.
When to call your provider or 911
- •Spreading redness, warmth, or swelling at the IV site
- •Fever or chills after your infusion
- •Chest pain, trouble breathing, or a severe headache
When in doubt, call your clinic. For a medical emergency, call 911.
