This question is a contraindication because some of the substances listed in IV Nutrient Therapy + (such as medications and high-dose nutrients) can pass into breast milk and be ingested by the nursing baby. Depending on the substance and its dosage, this can potentially have adverse effects on the infant's health, development, or overall well-being. Vitamin C: In moderate to high doses, vitamin C can increase the acidity of breast milk, potentially causing digestive discomfort in the nursing infant. Zinc: High doses of zinc in breast milk may lead to gastrointestinal disturbances in the baby. MIC (Methionine, Inositol, Choline): The effects of MIC on breastfeeding infants are not well- studied, and it is generally recommended to avoid during breastfeeding unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare provider. Glutathione: Glutathione is present naturally in breast milk, but the effects of supplemental glutathione on nursing infants are not well-established. Toradol (Ketorolac): Toradol is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is generally not recommended during breastfeeding due to potential adverse effects on the baby's developing kidneys. Benadryl (Diphenhydramine): Benadryl is an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness in both the mother and the baby if transferred through breast milk. Promethazine: Promethazine is an antihistamine with sedative properties, and it may cause drowsiness in breastfeeding
6. In the past, have you ever had an adverse reaction to IV therapy?
A history of adverse reactions may indicate sensitivity to certain substances or indicate an increased risk of similar reactions during future IV treatments.
7. Are you currently experiencing an outbreak of any viruses (HSV I/HSV II)?
Active viral infections can interact with IV therapy and may necessitate postponing treatment to avoid exacerbating the infection or transmitting the virus.
8. Do you have any allergy to any of the following: Sulfur, Sulfites, Saline (sodium chloride), Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), B complex (include B1-B7 and B12), Glutathione, magnesium chloride, zinc sulfate, NAD+, MIC (methionine, inositol, choline), Pepcid (famotidine), Toradol (ketorolac), Zofran (ondansetron) or Benadryl?
If yes to a specific ingredient like Vitamin C, B complex (include B1-B7 and B12), Glutathione, magnesium chloride, zinc sulfate, NAD+, MIC, Pepcid, Toradol, Zofran or Benadryl. Do not defer entire exam. Rather Chart: "Patient has allergy to *list ingredients/medications* and cannot receive it in the IV."
9. Are you currently taking digoxin?
