Please note that even though our IV drip treatments are clinically tested, stability tested and its ingredients are premium and safe, everyone is unique so you could experience the effects of the treatment differently. Unfortunately, we are not able to foresee if your body particularly will have a different reaction.

This should not be a cause for concern unless you experience an adverse reaction, which can occur if any of the ingredients on the IV formula interacts unexpectedly with any residues in your body, or if there are existing or potential medical conditions we are unaware of.
