Ideally once or twice a week for a total of four to eight infusions.
Ask your doctor what they would advise.
Can the symptoms of a cold really be alleviated with an immune system booster such as an IV infusion?
However, this cannot be guaranteed.
Are there any risks with an IV infusion?
I would also not recommend an immune infusion to patients who regularly take dietary supplements.
What does an expert think of the IV therapy trend?
I think there will be a lot more infusions in the future, but with a slightly different composition.
Im a proponent of infusions as long as they remain within reasonable limits.
For example, if infusions are only used in phases like in the autumn months.
My conclusion: An immune system booster infusion could help with mild complaints like mine.
