A member asked:

What is your opinion on iv vitamin drips?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Un-necessary usually: IV vitamin preparations have been promoted by several clinic systems over the years, and there has never been convincing evidence of any profound contribution to health maintenance or recovery from chronic disease. Some isolated roles perhaps exist, but I would discuss fully with your doctor whether such a direction should be pursued and why?

Dr Maes and another doctor agreed
