Pre-Injection Guidelines for Vitamin Injections
Pre-Injection Guidelines
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of your Vitamin Injection, please follow these pre-injection guidelines:
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water the day before and on the day of your injection to aid in absorption and reduce discomfort.
- Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours before the injection to reduce the risk of bruising and ensure optimal hydration.
- Significant Alcohol Consumption: If you have consumed more than 2-3 standard alcoholic drinks (e.g., glasses of wine, pints of beer, or shots) the night before, inform your practitioner. It may be advisable to delay the injection for 24 hours to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Stay Hydrated: If you had mild alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks), drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body and notify your practitioner before proceeding.
- Medication Advisory: Inform your practitioner of any medications, including blood thinners, aspirin, or supplements, at least 48 hours before your appointment.
